Houston Astros infielder Jeremy Pena (neck) is back in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Chase Anderson and the Colorado Rockies.
Pena missed the previous five games due to neck stiffness. He will replace Grae Kessinger at shortstop and hit eighth on Wednesday afternoon.
numberFire’s models project Pena ($6,500 on single-game slate) for 10.2 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros' implied total is 5.20 and the game total is 9.0. Anderson has a 6.50 ERA and 5.59 xERA (bottom 10th percentile of MLB) this season, with a 32.2% hard-hit rate (top 87th), 16.7% strikeout rate (bottom 13th), and 7.8% walk rate.
