Nick Pratto on Royals bench Wednesday

Kansas City Royals first baseman Nick Pratto is not in the lineup on Wednesday against left-hander Logan Allen and the Cleveland Guardians.

What It Means:

The left-handed hitting Pratto will sit versus the Guardians' southpaw after going hitless and striking out six times the last two games. Matt Duffy will start on first base and bat third while Bobby Witt Jr. moves into the leadoff role.

numberFire’s models project Duffy ($2,100) for 7.6 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Royals' implied total is 4.47 and the game total is 9.5. Allen has a 3.68 ERA and 4.41 xERA this season, with a 39.0% hard-hit rate, 22.5% strikeout rate, and 8.5% walk rate.
