What It Means:

Griffin has been out since May 26 due to a severe intercostal strain, but there could be some streaming opportunity tonight against a Twins team that ranks in the bottom-10 in the majors in both total runs scored (474) and batting average (.250). Prior to injury, the 29-year-old right-hander was 4-2 (eight starts) with a 5.77 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and 21.0 strikeout percentage (K%) in 39 innings.

numberFire's models project Griffin to score 21.7 FanDuel points at a cost of $6,700 on Thursday night. Over the remainder of the year, we expect him to twirl a 4.93 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 17.7 K% across 20 innings.
