Kyle Tucker cleaning up Monday for Astros
Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker will start in left field and hit cleanup in Monday's series opener against left-hander John Means and the Baltimore Orioles.
What It Means:
Tucker is back in action after a rare day off in Sunday's series finale against the Kansas City Royals. Michael Brantley is taking a breather Monday while Chas McCormick and Mauricio Dubon join Tucker in the outfield.
Means made his season debut last week and allowed 2 home runs, a 66.7% fly-ball rate versus righties, and a 10.5% barrel rate. numberFire’s models project Tucker ($3,600) for 11.4 FanDuel points on Monday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros' implied total is 4.80 and the game total is 8.5.
