Kansas City Royals outfielder Edward Olivares is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against right-hander Michael Pineda and the Detroit Tigers.
Kyle Isbel is moving to right field in place of Olivares while Michael Taylor enters the lineup as the center fielder and No. 7 batter.
numberFire’s models project Taylor for 8.6 FanDuel points on Friday, and he has a $2,400 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Royals' implied total (4.23) is 17th in the majors on Friday.
