Brandon Belt on Blue Jays bench Wednesday
Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Brandon Belt is not in the lineup versus left-hander Shane McClanahan and the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday.
What It Means:
The left-handed hitting Belt will sit versus the Rays' southpaw. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will cover first base and Matt Chapman will move into the cleanup spot. George Springer will be the Blue Jays' designated hitter. Nathan Lukes will enter the lineup to play right field and bat ninth.
numberFire’s models project Chapman ($3,400) for 9.7 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Lukes ($2,000) is projected for 8.0 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Blue Jays' implied total is fifth-lowest today at 3.72 and the game total is 8.5. McClanahan has the fifth-best strikeout rate (29.2%) and sixth-worst walk rate (10.7%) among Wednesday's listed starters.
