New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is not in the lineup for Thursday's series finale against right-hander Jose Berrios and the Toronto Blue Jays.
Stanton will sit after going 1-for-23 with a homer, 3 RBI, and 9 strikeouts over the last sixt games. Aaron Judge will serve as the designated hitter and Jake Bauers will start in right field for the Yankees.
numberFire’s models project Judge ($3,900) for 13.4 and Bauers ($2,500) for 8.1 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Yankees' implied total is a deflated 3.74 and the game total is a pitcher-friendly 7.0. Berrios has a strong walk rate (6.7%) and hard-hit rate (35.3%) this season, with a mediocre strikeout rate (22.9%).
