Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Jack Suwinski is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Hogan Harris and the Oakland Athletics.
The left-handed hitting Suwinski will take a seat versus the Athletics' rookie southpaw. Ji Hwan Bae will replace Suwinski in center field and hit eighth.
Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Pirates' implied total is a healthy 5.34 on Wednesday and the game total is 9.5. Through Harris' first 10 1/3 innings in the majors, he has yielded 8 runs on 7 hits with 10 strikeouts and 6 walks. The rookie lefty enters the series finale with a horrendous 50.0% hard-hit rate, but his 3.69 xERA is more encouraging than the 6.97 ERA in front of it. Bae has a $6,500 salary on the single-game slate and our models project him for 8.4 FanDuel points.
