New York Mets first baseman Darin Ruf is in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against left-hander Max Fried and the Atlanta Braves.
Ruf will start on first base and bat fifth while Pete Alonso works as the designated hitter. Dan Vogelbach is idle against the Braves' southpaw.
Ruf has a $2,600 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 7.4 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Mets’ implied total (3.42) is fourth-lowest on Thursday's Main slate out of 10 teams. The over/under for the game (6.5) is the lowest of the five contests.
