Curtis Mead sitting Thursday for Rays
Tampa Bay Rays infielder Curtis Mead is not in the lineup for Thursday's series opener against right-hander Kyle Bradish and the Baltimore Orioles.
What It Means:
Mead went 2-for-4 with a triple, a double, an RBI, and a run scored in Wednesday's series finale against the Minnesota Twins. Isaac Paredes will shift to third base Thursday while Harold Ramirez serves as the designated hitter. Josh Lowe will start in right field and hit fifth. Luke Raley will man the middle of the outfield and bat eighth.
numberFire’s models project Paredes ($3,000) for 8.6 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rays' implied total is 3.77 and the game total is 8.0. Bradish has posted a stellar 2.89 xFIP, 30.5% strikeout rate, and 7.3% walk rate since the beginning of August.
