David Peralta riding pine Friday for Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder David Peralta is not in the lineup for Friday's series opener against left-hander Ranger Suarez and the Philadelphia Phillies.

What It Means:

The left-handed hitting Peralta is not in the lineup against a southpaw. Chris Taylor will move out to left field while Miguel Rojas (neck) returns to shortstop and bats ninth.

numberFire’s models project Taylor ($2,700) for 9.7 FanDuel points on Friday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Dodgers' implied total is 4.79 and the game total is 9.5. Suarez has a 5.47 ERA and 5.06 xERA this season, with an 18.3% strikeout rate and 7.3% walk rate. The punchout rate is fifth-lowest among Friday's listed starters.
