Baltimore Orioles outfielder Jorge Mateo is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Cristian Javier and the Houston Astros.
Mateo will move to the bench after going 0-for-4 with 2 strikeouts on Tuesday. Gunnar Henderson will shift to shortstop while Ramon Urias will start on third base and bat ninth.
numberFire’s models project Henderson ($2,500) for 8.2 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Orioles' implied total is 4.65 and the game total is 9.0. Javier has a poor 4.74 ERA and identical xERA that rates in the bottom 27th percentile of qualified pitchers this season. The righty also has an underwhelming 22.1% strikeout rate and 8.8% walk rate.
