Alexi Amarista in the Rockies' lineup, hitting 6th

Colorado Rockies utilityman Alexi Amarista is starting Saturday against the Chicago Cubs.

What It Means:

Trevor Story is getting a day off, and Amarista is filling in at short. Amarista is slotted into the 6th spot in the lineup as the Rox tangle with right-hander Eddie Butler, a former teammate.

Amarista has some things working in his favor today from a DFS perspective -- namely he's hitting in a decent spot in a good lineup with a modest $2,400 salary on FanDuel. He's also been pretty good when given time this year, racking up a .360 wOBA versus righties, although that comes with an ugly 21.3% hard-hit rate. We project Amarista for 10.3 FanDuel points today.
