David Fletcher idle for Angels Thursday

Los Angeles Angels infielder David Fletcher is not in the lineup for Thursday's series finale against right-hander Lance Lynn and the Chicago White Sox.

What It Means:

Fletcher will sit after five consecutive starts. Andrew Velazquez will replace Fletcher at shortstop and hit ninth.

numberFire’s models project Velazquez ($2,100) for 7.6 FanDuel points and he's one of our top values at hitter on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Angels' implied total is 4.97 and the game total is 9.5. Lynn has a 6.40 ERA and 4.70 xERA this season, with a 40.5% hard-hit rate, 27.0% strikeout rate, and 8.4% walk rate.
