What It Means:

Mercer will line up in the eight-hole against Reds right-hander Homer Bailey. He 2-for-4 while batting as the sixth man in the Pirates' order on Sunday.

With an attractive implied total (5.02 runs) in a game they are expected to win relatively comfortably, the Pirates could be worth targeting, especially considering Bailey's forgiving 12.1 strikeout percentage this season. numberFire's models project Mercer to score 8.1 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,400 on Tuesday.
