Javier Baez moves up to second in order as Cubs close series with Cardinals
Chicago Cubs infielder Javier Baez is batting second on Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals.
What It Means:
Baez hasn't hit any higher than sixth all season, but after going 4-for-9 with 1 home run, 2 doubles, and 6 RBI over the past two games, Cubs manager Joe Maddon will move him up to the two-hole for today's series finale against right-hander Luke Weaver and the Cardinals.
numberFire's models project Baez to score 11.0 FanDuel points at a cost of $4,200 on Thursday.
