Tommy Pham takes seat Tuesday for Mets

New York Mets outfielder Tommy Pham is not in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against right-hander Bryce Elder and the Atlanta Braves.

What It Means:

Pham filled in as the center field and leadoff hitter last game against a left-handed pitcher. Brandon Nimmo will reclaim both spots on Tuesday as Pham returns to the bench.

numberFire’s models project Nimmo ($3,300) for 10.2 FanDuel points on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Mets' implied total is 4.68 and the game total is a batter-friendly 10.5. Elder has a 4.16 xERA with a 47.3% hard-hit rate this season, so his 1.92 ERA is a bit misleading.
