Neil Walker

Mets' Neil Walker batting second on Wednesday

New York Mets second baseman Neil Walker is batting second on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs.

What It Means:

Walker is typically fourth or fifth in the order, but has found himself batting second a bit more this week with Asdrubal Cabrera (thumb) on the disabled list and Michael Conforto (back) resting.

The Mets don't have a great matchup tonight, with their implied total (4.29 runs) the 10th-lowest on the slate and Citi Field's power-dampening second-worst park factor (.929) to contend with. That said, in a good lineup and batting highly, our models project Walker for 9.3 FanDuel Points tonight at a $3,200 salary.
