Chris Taylor batting fifth Thursday for Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman/outfielder Chris Taylor is batting fifth against the Atlanta Braves on Thursday night.

What It Means:

Taylor is bumped down to the middle of the order after leading things off for the Dodgers in the last two contests. He'll start in left field and bat fifth against Braves right-hander Mike Foltynewicz. Chase Utley is in the leadoff spot for Los Angeles.

The Dodgers are heavy favorites and have an attractive implied total (5.00 runs), so they carry decent fantasy appeal into tonight's matchup. numberFire's models project Taylor to score 9.9 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,900 on Thursday.
