What It Means:

Valbuena sat yesterday as C.J. Cron took his spot at first, but he's in the lineup today and playing across the diamond. Yunel Escobar is heading to the bench as a result.

The Halos have a tough matchup versus top prospect David Paulino. The Astros' righty has flashed big-time stuff in his limited MLB career, putting up a 27.9% strikeout rate with a 12.9% swinging-strike rate. With that said, the Angels have a decent 4.11 implied total, and Valbuena is a cleanup stick priced at $2,500 on FanDuel. His 45.3% fly-ball rate gives him a chance to run into one, but that's something he's only done three times in 119 plate appearances in 2017.
