Eduardo Escobar leading off on Sunday for Twins
Minnesota Twins infielder/designated hitter Eduardo Escobar is leading off on Sunday afternoon against the Detroit Tigers.
What It Means:
This is Escobar's first turn atop the Twins' order in 2017 as they take on left-hander Matt Boyd and the Tigers. He's batting a strong .321/.382/.531 with 5 home runs and 15 RBI in 89 plate appearances against southpaws this season. Brian Dozier, the typical leadoff man for Minnesota, is hitting out of the two-hole on Sunday afternoon.
The Twins have an implied total of 5.37 runs today, so they could be a lineup worth targeting. numberFire's models project Escobar to score 10.4 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,700 on Sunday afternoon.
