Boston's Sam Travis batting fifth on Tuesday
Boston Red Sox first baseman Sam Travis is batting fifth on Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics.
What It Means:
Travis hit way down at eighth for Sunday afternoon's game against the Tampa Bay Rays, but he'll move up to fifth as the Red Sox face lefty Sean Manaea at Fenway Park.
In 2017, Travis has accounted for 5 doubles and a .394 average in 39 plate appearances versus left-handed pitching. At just $2,000 tonight, he could provide value for a Boston offense with an implied total of 5.33 runs in the matchup.
