Mets' Ronny Mauricio making MLB debut Friday

New York Mets infielder/outfielder Ronny Mauricio is in the lineup for Friday's series opener against right-hander Logan Gilbert and the Seattle Mariners.

What It Means:

Mauricio will start on second base and bat ninth in his MLB debut after the Mets called him up from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday to fill the expanded roster. The 22-year-old infielder slashed .295/.349/.511 with 23 homers, 71 RBI, and 24 stolen bases in Triple-A this season. Jeff McNeil will move to left field on Friday while Rafael Ortega takes a seat.

numberFire’s models project Mauricio ($2,000) for 6.4 FanDuel points on Friday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Mets' implied total is 3.77 and the game total is 7.5. Gilbert has mostly been above average this season, with a 3.66 ERA (3.68 xERA), 1.05 WHIP, and 24.7% strikeout rate. His 4.5% walk rate is one of the best in the league among qualified pitchers.
