Javier Baez starting as Cubs close series against Cardinals
Chicago Cubs infielder Javier Baez is starting on Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals.
What It Means:
Baez will start at second base and bat eighth versus Cardinals right-hander Michael Wacha after a one-game absence from the starting lineup. Ben Zobrist will be available off the Cubs' bench.
The Cubs have a 4.45 implied total in a matchup with a poor over/under (8.0 runs), so their upside will be limited. numberFire's models project Baez to score 8.0 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,200 on Sunday night, making him an unattractive option for fantasy purposes.
