Cedric Mullins leading off Friday for Orioles versus lefty
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins will bat leadoff versus left-hander Yusei Kikuchi and the Toronto Blue Jays in Friday's series opener.
What It Means:
The left-handed hitting Mullins will return to leadoff duty versus the Blue Jays' southpaw after taking a breather last game. Anthony Santander will be the designated hitter and cleanup batter while Adley Rutschman will start at catcher over an idle James McCann.
numberFire’s models project Mullins ($3,800) for 13.9 FanDuel points on Friday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Orioles' implied total is 4.32 and the game total is 9.5. Kikuchi has a 3.89 ERA and 1.30 WHIP this season, with a 22.9% strikeout rate and 4.6% walk rate.
