Paul DeJong starting for Cardinals versus Mets

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Paul DeJong is starting on Friday versus the New York Mets.

What It Means:

DeJong will replace Greg Garcia at shortstop and bat eighth versus Mets right-hander Jacob DeGrom. He hit a double in his lone pinch-hit appearance on Thursday night.

numberFire's models project DeJong to score 7.3 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,500 tonight, which isn't great value to begin with, but his upside is also limited by a low implied total (3.85), as well as an uninviting over/under (7.5) and park factor (0.972). He's not a great play, especially against deGrom, who owns an imposing 29.0 strikeout percentage this season.
