Albert Almora in Cubs' lineup versus White Sox

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora is starting on Tuesday versus the Chicago White Sox.

What It Means:

Almora is batting a robust .361/.458/.574 in 72 plate appearances against southpaws this season, and he will get the start in center field on Tuesday while batting sixth versus White Sox left-hander Carlos Rodon. Ian Happ is starting in left field while Jon Jay is on the Cubs' bench.

The heavily-favored Cubs have a solid implied total (4.93) and Rodon has a penchant for walking batters this season (16.3 percent), so their lineup offers plenty of upside on Tuesday afternoon. numberFire's models project Almora to score 8.9 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,400 for the inner-city matchup.
