Pedro Alvarez

Pedro Alvarez is in the Orioles' Friday lineup

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Pedro Alvarez is starting at DH and batting eighth on Friday.

What It Means:

Alvarez is filling in as the Orioles give Mark Trumbo the day off versus the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Orioles have an implied run total of 4.68 on Friday but with Alvarez batting near the bottom of the lineup, the slugger makes for a risky play even with a $2,200 price tag.
