Austin Nola absent Wednesday for Padres

San Diego Padres catcher Austin Nola is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander George Kirby and the Seattle Mariners.

What It Means:

Gary Sanchez will catch for Michael Wacha and hit cleanup while Nola moves back to the bench. Matt Carpenter will enter the lineup to be the designated hitter and bat sixth.

numberFire’s models project Sanchez ($2,600) for 9.4 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Padres' implied total is 4.06 and the game total is 8.0. Kirby has a 3.04 ERA and 1.01 WHIP this season, with a 20.7% strikeout rate and 2.1% walk rate. That last mark is the best rate among Wednesday's listed starters.
