Andres Blanco

Andres Blanco starting at third Monday for Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Andres Blanco is starting at third base on Monday against the Boston Red Sox.

What It Means:

Playing in Boston gives Phillies manager Pete MacKanin the ability to play Maikel Franco as the designated hitter on Monday. Blanco will play at third and hit sixth while Franco is down in seventh tonight against Rick Porcello.

Philadelphia's implied total of 4.52 makes them a solid offense to target in what could be a high scoring game. Our models project Blanco for 8.3 FanDuel points tonight at the minimum price tag of $2,000.
