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