Anthony Santander sitting Monday for Orioles
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander is not in the lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Justin Verlander and the Houston Astros.
What It Means:
The Orioles are giving Santander a rare breather after they secured a playoff spot on Sunday. Aaron Hicks will cover right field and bat sixth while Ryan O'Hearn hits third and Austin Hays handles cleanup duty.
numberFire’s models project Hicks ($2,600) for 8.0 FanDuel points on Monday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Orioles' implied total is 3.70, third-lowest on the board, and the game total is 8.5. Verlander has a 21.2% strikeout rate (bottom 35th percentile of league) and 6.7% walk rate (top 75th) across 143 1/3 innings this season.
