David Freese D. Freese

David Freese moved to fifth in Pirates' order on Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman David Freese is batting fifth on Monday against the Detroit Tigers.

What It Means:

In his past two starts, Freese went a combined 2-for-8 (.250) with a double and a solo shot while batting cleanup for Pittsburgh. He'll be bumped down a spot to the five-hole against Tigers right-hander Jordan Zimmerman on Monday. Josh Bell is in the cleanup spot for the Pirates.

Zimmerman owns a paltry 15.9 strikeout percentage this season, and the Pirates have the second-highest implied total on the slate at 4.95 runs, so they offer plenty of fantasy appeal. numberFire's models project Freese to score 7.8 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,200 on Monday.
