Carlos Santana sitting Monday for Royals
Kansas City Royals first baseman Carlos Santana is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Ross Stripling and the Toronto Blue Jays.
What It Means:
Santana started on Sunday against a starting southpaw, but he's back on the bench against a righty. Hunter Dozier is on first base Monday while Nicky Lopez replaces Santana in the lineup to play second base and bat ninth. Whit Merrifield is at designated hitter.
numberFire’s models project Lopez for 8.3 FanDuel points on Monday, and he has a $2,100 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Royals are tied with the Mariners as the biggest underdogs (+146) on Monday and the over/under (10.0) is the highest total out of the six games being played.
