St. Louis Cardinals infielder Nolan Gorman is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Rich Hill and the San Diego Padres.
The left-handed hitting Gorman is grabbing a seat against a southpaw. Taylor Motter is taking over on second base and batting seventh while Willson Contreras moves up two spots to hit third.
numberFire’s models project Contreras ($2,700) for 10.9 and Motter ($2,100) for 5.0 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cardinals' implied total is 4.50 and the game total is 9.0. Hill has a high 5.21 ERA and 5.55 xERA this season, with a 39.9% hard-hit rate, 19.3% strikeout rate, and 8.7% walk rate.
