Dominic Smith moves up in Mets order on Thursday

New York Mets first baseman Dominic Smith is batting fifth on Thursday against the New York Yankees.

What It Means:

Smith will swap spots with Travis d'Arnaud on Thursday, going from the seven-hole to the five-hole versus right-hander Luis Severino and the Yankees. He went 0-for-4 while striking out once on Wednesday, putting him at 4-for-21 (.190) overall through his first six major league games.

The Mets have the lowest implied total (2.99 runs) on Thursday's board in what sets up to be a pitcher-friendly matchup (7.0 over/under, 0.929 park factor), so they don't offer much upside in regards to fantasy production. numberFire's models project Smith to score 7.1 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,600.
