Jason Heyward J. Heyward

Jason Heyward batting sixth for Cubs on Thursday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward is batting sixth on Thursday versus the Chicago White Sox.

What It Means:

After an 0-for-4 performance as the Cubs' leadoff man on Wednesday, Heyward will slide down to the six-hole against White Sox right-hander Mike Pelfrey. Ben Zobrist is at the top of the order for the defending champs.

As heavy favorites with the highest implied total of the day (6.00 runs) in a batter-friendly matchup (10.0 over/under, 1.049 park factor), the Cubs are ripe for fantasy production on Thursday. numberFire's models project Heyward to score 10.7 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,200.
