Gary Sanchez sitting Thursday afternoon for Padres
San Diego Padres catcher Gary Sanchez is not in the lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Luis Ortiz and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
What It Means:
Sanchez will sit after going 0-for-4 with 2 strikeouts on Wednesday night. Austin Nola will catch for Joe Musgrove and bat ninth.
numberFire’s models project Nola ($2,000) for 7.2 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Padres' implied total is 4.83 and the game total is 8.5. Ortiz has an ugly 6.26 xERA and his strikeout rate (15.2%) is in the bottom 6th percentile of the majors this season.
