Isiah Kiner-Falefa absent for Yankees Thursday

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa is not in the lineup versus right-hander Kyle Gibson and the Baltimore Orioles in Thursday's series finale.

What It Means:

Kiner-Falefa will move to the bench after he went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a pair of RBI on Wednesday. Greg Allen will replace Kiner-Falefa in left field and hit ninth.

Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Yankees' implied total is 4.76 and the game total is 9.0. Gibson has an underwhelming 4.80 SIERA and 16.7% strikeout rate this season, but that comes with a stronger 33.9% flyball rate and 28.0% hard-hit rate allowed. Our models project Allen ($2,000) for 6.5 FanDuel points on Thursday.
