What It Means:

Russell went 0-for-5 with 2 strikeouts while batting fifth on Tuesday night, but he'll hit out of the seven-hole for today's matchup with right-hander R.A. Dickey and the Braves.

numberFire's models project Russell to score 11.1 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,600 this afternoon, making him an excellent value play in a game where the Cubs have an attractive implied total of 5.15 runs.
