A.J. Pollock leading off for Diamondbacks Monday night

Arizona Diamondbacks center fielder A.J. Pollock is leading off against right-hander Kyle Hendricks and the Chicago Cubs in Monday's series opener.

What It Means:

Pollock will hop up a spot after going 0-for-4 with a whiff while batting second in a loss to the Houston Astros on Sunday. Eduardo Escobar will move from fifth to second in the order and Daniel Descalso will hit fifth while manning second base.

numberFire's models project Pollock to score 11.5 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,500 on Monday. They also expect Escobar to score 11.3 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,300 and Descalso to turn in 8.8 FanDuel points on a $3,000 price tag.
