Maikel Franco hitting cleanup as Phillies battle Braves
Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco is batting cleanup on Tuesday versus the Atlanta Braves.
What It Means:
Franco is currently enjoying a four-game hitting streak, so the Phillies will try him out of the cleanup spot in tonight's series opener against right-hander Julio Teheran and the Braves. Nick Williams will bat out of the seven-hole after handling cleanup duties in the past two contests for Philadelphia.
numberFire's models project Franco to turn in 12.0 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,200 on Tuesday, so he could be worth a look in what should be a batter-friendly affair (9.5 over/under).
