Alex Avila starting at catcher as Cubs open series in Cincinnati
Chicago Cubs catcher Alex Avila is starting on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds.
What It Means:
Avila will catch right-hander John Lackey and bat sixth versus Reds righty Homer Bailey. Rene Rivera will be available off the bench after starting behind the plate on Sunday for Chicago.
The Cubs have the second-highest implied total (6.05) on Tuesday's board, so their lineup offers plenty of fantasy potential. numberFire's models project Avila to score 9.2 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,800.
