Colorado Rockies catcher Jonathan Lucroy will start on Thursday afternoon against the Atlanta Braves.
Ryan Hanigan was scratched due to a stomach virus, so Lucroy will make a fourth consecutive start at catcher and bat fifth versus Braves right-hander Lucas Sims. Trevor Story, Ryan McMahon, and Alexi Amarista will each move down a spot in the Rockies' order, to sixth, seventh, and eighth, respectively.
With a sky-high implied total (6.78 runs) in a matchup set up for loads of scoring (12.0 over/under, 1.338 park factor), the Rockies are filled with fantasy appeal on Thursday.
