Maikel Franco starting for Phillies on Friday

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco is starting on Friday against the New York Mets.

What It Means:

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).
