Sean Rodriguez starting on Monday for Braves
Atlanta Braves third baseman Sean Rodriguez is batting seventh against the Chicago Cubs on Monday.
Rodriguez is allowing the Braves to rest Matt Adams today against Cubs' lefty Jon Lester. He'll play third base and move Freddie Freeman back to his natural first base spot.
Despite Lester's struggles on the year compared to his career, the Braves' batters still have the second-lowest implied total (4.08 runs) on the slate today per our DFS Heat Map. Lester has the fourth-highest strikeout rate among Monday starters and a fairly grounder-friendly .908 ground-to-fly ball ratio.
