Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes (head) is back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale against left-hander Braxton Garrett and the Miami Marlins.
Barnes will catch for Ryan Pepiot and bat ninth after he sat out Tuesday with a head injury. Will Smith will shift to designated hitter while Kolten Wong heads to the bench.
numberFire’s models project Smith ($3,300) for 9.5 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Dodgers' implied total is 4.35 and the game total is 8.5. Ober has a 2.61 ERA and 3.55 xERA this season, with a 34.1% hard-hit rate, 23.6% strikeout rate, and 6.5% walk rate. Garrett has a strong 3.56 SIERA and elite 3.8% walk rate this season, but his 46.1% hard-hit rate is in the bottom-6% of the majors.
