Austin Slater moves to eighth in the order as the Giants travel to Detroit
San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater will bat eighth against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday.
It's not a big move for Slater, who hit out of the seven hole on Wednesday, but with Joe Panik back in the lineup today, Slater slides down to eighth in a matchup with Tigers' righty Anibal Sanchez.
Slater has a decent .341 wOBA against righties this season, but batting so low in the order, numberFire's models project him for only 8.2 FanDuel points while priced at $2,500 today.
