Javier Baez batting sixth on Wednesday for Cubs

Chicago Cubs infielder Javier Baez is batting sixth on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays.

What It Means:

Baez will slide from third base to second and move up to sixth in the order on Wednesday night versus left-hander Blake Snell and the Rays. He went 2-for-3 with an RBI double and a steal on Tuesday while working out of the nine-hole for the Cubs.

Snell hasn't given up more than two runs in four of his past five starts, including a pair of shutouts and a one-run outing in his most recent trip to the mound, so the defending champs may be in a tough spot for this one. numberFire's models project Baez to score 9.4 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,300 on Wednesday, while the Cubs carry an underwhelming implied total at 4.07 runs.
