Mets' Francisco Alvarez absent Wednesday for Game 1
New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez is not in the starting lineup against left-hander Joey Wentz and the Detroit Tigers in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader.
What It Means:
Tomas Nido will catch for Joey Lucchesi and bat ninth. Alvarez figures to return to the lineup for Game 2 on Wednesday.
numberFire’s models project Nido ($2,100) for 7.1 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Mets' implied total is fourth-highest of the day at 5.21 and the game total is tied for second-highest on the board at 9.5. Wentz has a 6.45 ERA and 1.34 WHIP, with a 20.8% strikeout rate 9.4% walk rate this season. His 4.90 SIERA and 4.35 xERA suggest Wentz will improve as the season progresses.
