Miami Marlins infielder JT Riddle is batting leadoff against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.
Riddle has taken the place of Adeiny Hechavarria (oblique) in the starting lineup while the latter is on the DL, but this is a big vote of confidence in his bat. Riddle has slashed .298/.317/.439 with 1 home run, 6 runs, and 11 RBI over 60 plate appearances in the last two weeks.
Our algorithms project Riddle for 10.2 FanDuel Points at a salary of $2,800 on Sunday.
