Lucas Duda

Lucas Duda moves up to fifth in the Mets' batting order on Wednesday

New York Mets first baseman Lucas Duda is batting fifth against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday.

What It Means:

Duda has been batting sixth recently, and with T.J. Rivera out tonight, Duda will slide up one spot against Cardinals' righty Mike Leake.

Duda has a .391 wOBA and 43.9% hard-hit rate against right-handed pitching this season, though numberFire's models project him for a weak 8.7 FanDuel points in this one.
