Maikel Franco starting for Phillies on Friday
Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco is starting on Friday against the New York Mets.
Franco will man the hot corner and bat seventh versus Mets right-hander Matt Harvey on Friday while J.P. Crawford returns to the Phillies' bench.
With a strong implied total (5.05 runs) in a batter-friendly matchup (9.5 over/under, 1.031 park factor), the Phillies' lineup offers some fantasy appeal on Friday. Franco is averaging 8.2 FanDuel points per game this season (151 games).
