Kevin Kiermaier on Blue Jays bench Wednesday afternoon
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander JP Sears and the Oakland Athletics.
What It Means:
The left-handed hitting Kiermaier is taking a seat against the Athletics' southpaw. Daulton Varsho is replacing Kiermaier in center field and hitting eighth. Davis Schneider is starting on second base again and batting third.
numberFire’s models project Varsho ($2,700) for 9.5 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Blue Jays' implied total is 4.43 and the game total is 8.0. Sears has a poor 4.60 ERA and 4.75 xERA this season, with mediocre hard-hit (39.2%) and strikeout rates (22.2%). His 6.3% walk rate is in the top 82nd percentile of the majors.
