Dominic Smith sitting for Mets on Monday
New York Mets first baseman Dominic Smith is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against left-hander Max Fried and the Atlanta Braves.
What It Means:
The Mets are sitting the lefty-hitting Smith against the Braves' southpaw. Pete Alonso is starting on first base and batting third while J.D. Davis serves as the designated hitter and bats seventh. Alonso is bookended in the order by Francisco Lindor and Mark Canha.
numberFire’s models project Davis for 9.8 FanDuel points on Monday, and he has a $2,300 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Mets’ implied total (3.35) is the lowest in the majors on Monday.
