Chris Herrmann

Chris Herrmann starting for Diamondbacks on Thursday afternoon

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher/outfielder Chris Herrmann is starting on Thursday against the Houston Astros.

What It Means:

Herrmann will start in left field and bat eighth versus Astros right-hander Mike Fiers in today's series finale. Gregor Blanco will be available off the bench after manning left field on Wednesday for Arizona.

This matchup sets up to be relatively batter-friendly affair (9.5 over/under, 1.015 park factor), so the Astros offer some upside for fantasy purposes. numberFire's models project Herrmann to score 7.3 FanDuel points at a cost of only $2,000 on Thursday, giving him some nice value.
