Albert Almora starting, leading off for Cubs on Friday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora is starting on Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays.

What It Means:

Almora will start in center field and lead off the order versus Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ, who has allowed just 1 run in three consecutive starts. Jon Jay will be available off the bench on Friday.

numberFire's models project Almora to score 8.1 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,100 on Friday, and despite Happ's recent success, he could be worth a look as the Cubs have an appealing implied total (4.99 runs) in a matchup with a strong park factor (1.025).
