Brewers' Jeremy Jeffress to make first ever start on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jeremy Jeffress will start Friday's matchup against the Miami Marlins.

What It Means:

For Jeffress -- a reliever by trade -- it's his first major league start in what will be a bullpen game for Milwaukee. What's more odd is that tonight's game will be a road game for the Brewers despite being played at Miller Park. The game was originally set to be played in Miami but was moved due to Hurricane Irma.

In 53 total appearances, Jeffress has gone 4-2 with a 5.53 FIP and 7.06 strikeouts per 9 innings over 57 1/3 innings this season. He's projected for 20.4 FanDuel points at a cost of $5,500 in tonight's spot start.
