St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Mitch Keller and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Cardinals appear to be giving Bader a breather after he went 0-for-11 with three strikeouts in the last four games. Dylan Carlson is replacing Bader in center field and hitting eighth. Juan Yepez is in right and Tyler O'Neill is in left field.
numberFire’s models project Carlson for 7.6 FanDuel points on Monday, and he has a $2,300 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cardinals have the second-highest implied total (5.34) in the majors on Monday.
