Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis is starting on Friday versus the Philadelphia Phillies.
Markakis is starting in right field and batting sixth versus Phillies right-hander Jeremy Hellickson. Sean Rodriguez will return to the Braves' bench for Friday's series opener.
Hellickson owns a forgiving 4.73 ERA and 13.8 strikeout percentage this season, so perhaps he could be a pitcher to target on Friday in a matchup with a relatively batter-friendly park factor. numberFire's models project Markakis to score 8.7 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,700.
