Colorado Rockies infielder Michael Toglia is not in the lineup for Friday's series opener against left-hander Hyun Jin Ryu and the Toronto Blue Jays.
Toglia is taking a seat after he went 0-for-7 with 3 strikeouts in the last two games. Charlie Blackmon is moving to right field on Friday and Hunter Goodman is taking over at designated hitter. Elehuris Montero is manning first base for the Rockies and hitting eighth.
numberFire’s models project Blackmon ($3,400) for 11.3 FanDuel points on Friday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rockies' implied total is 5.22, third-highest of the day, and the game total is the highest on the board. Over Ryu's last four starts, he registered a 0.95 ERA with a paltry 22.6% hard-hit rate. His high ground ball rate (44.2%) and low fly ball rate (32.7%) are also ideal for the higher elevation at Coors Field.
