Astros' Rylan Bannon on bench Monday

Houston Astros infielder Rylan Bannon is not in the starting lineup versus right-hander Ross Stripling and the San Francisco Giants in Monday's series opener.

What It Means:

Mauricio Dubon will return to lead things off for the Astros and replace Bannon on second base. Bannon went 0-for-6 with 3 strikeouts in two starts over the weekend. Jeremy Pena will drop to sixth in the lineup after leading off last game.

numberFire’s models project Dubon ($2,800) for 8.5 FanDuel points on Monday. Pena ($3,300) is projected for 10.3 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros' implied total is third-highest on the board at 4.78 and the game total is 8.5. Stripking has a 19.4% strikeout rate and a 42.3% hard-hit rate this season.
