Carlos Beltran in at designated hitter for Houston on Friday

Houston Astros designated hitter/outfielder Carlos Beltran is starting on Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays.

What It Means:

Beltran returns to the lineup after being held out on Thursday. He's starting at DH and batting sixth versus Blue Jays right-hander Cesar Valdez. A.J. Reed is back on the Astros' bench.

numberFire's models project Beltran to score 9.8 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,200 on Friday. He's worth a look in a game where the Astros offer some appealing upside with an implied total of 5.07 runs.
