Pete Alonso batting second for Mets Wednesday afternoon
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso will bat second in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against right-hander Duane Underwood Jr. and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Alonso typically bats cleanup for the Mets, but with Starling Marte sidelined by a hand injury, the first baseman will cover the two-hole in Game 1 on Wednesday. Jeff McNeil will handle cleanup duty, followed by Dan Vogelbach batting fifth and Mark Canha hitting sixth.
Alonso has a $9,500 salary on Wednesday's single-game slate and our models project him for the most FanDuel points among batters in the contest at 15.0. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Mets’ implied total in Game 1 (5.11) is currently fourth-highest in the majors today.
