Akil Baddoo absent Thursday afternoon for Tigers
Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo is not in the lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Clarke Schmidt and the New York Yankees.
What It Means:
The Tigers are giving Baddoo the day off after he went 0-for-7 with 4 strikeouts in the past two games. Riley Greene is switching over to left field while Kerry Carpenter shifts out to right field and hits fifth. Miguel Cabrera is starting at designated hitter and batting sixth on Thursday afternoon. Zach McKinstry is replacing Baddoo as the leadoff batter.
Miggy has a $4,000 salary on the single-game slate Thursday afternoon and numberFire’s models project him for 7.3 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Tigers' implied total is 4.09 and the game total is 8.5. Schmidt has a mediocre 4.12 xERA this season, with an underwhelming 22.4% strikeout rate and strong 6.2% walk rate.
