Aaron Hicks absent Thursday for Orioles
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Aaron Hicks is not in the lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Colin Rea and the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Orioles appear to be giving Hicks a routine breather. Austin Hays will move to center field and cleanup duty while Ryan O'Hearn will shift out to left. Ryan Mountcastle will return to the lineup to play first base and bat sixth.
numberFire’s models project Mountcastle ($3,300) for 10.2 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Orioles' implied total is 4.27 and the game total is 8.5. Rea has a 4.94 ERA and 4.52 xERA this season, with a 43.8% hard-hit rate, 20.0% strikeout rate, and 9.0% walk rate.
