Brad Peacock making a spot start for Astros on Monday

Houston Astros pitcher Brad Peacock will make a spot start on Monday versus the Detroit Tigers.

What It Means:

Peacock has been dominant out of the bullpen for the Astros this season but did make five starts for Houston last season. He is filling in for Dallas Keuchel, who went on the disabled list with a pinched nerve. Peacock hasn't thrown more than two innings this season.

numberFire's algorithms project Peacock to go 5 1/3 innings while allowing 3.0 runs and striking out 4.8 batters for 23.9 FanDuel points at a price tag of $5,500 on Monday night.
