Dustin Pedroia

Dustin Pedroia (knee, nose) back in action for Boston on Wednesday night

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia is starting on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays.

What It Means:

Pedroia sat out the past two games while tending to a minor knee issue. He will bat second in tonight's series finale against right-hander Marco Estrada and the Blue Jays. Deven Marrero will be available off Boston's bench.

With a strong implied total (5.24 runs) in what should be a batter-friendly matchup (9.5 over/under, 1.082 park factor), the Red Sox' lineup is worth targeting for owners filling out fantasy rosters. numberFire's models project Pedroia to score 9.2 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,900.
