What It Means:

Alonso has bat third in the Athletics' lineup for his last 11 starts, and he hasn't hit any lower than fifth in the order since May 3. The switch is likely a result of the Blue Jays sending left-hander Francisco Liriano to the mound, as Alonso is batting just 11-for-56 (.196) against southpaws this season.

This matchup carries a 9.5 over/under and 1.043 park factor, so it provides some decent fantasy appeal. numberFire's models project Alonso to score 11.6 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,200 on Monday.
