Julio Rodriguez hitting sixth Thursday afternoon for Seattle
Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez will start in center field and hit sixth in Thursday's series finale against right-hander Luis Gil and the New York Yankees.
What It Means
Rodriguez will not hit second or leadoff for the first time this season, after he went 1-for-12 with 3 strikeouts in the first three games of the series. Dylan Moore will move up and bat second for the Mariners in Thursday's finale.
numberFire's models project Rodriguez for 11.2 and Moore for 11.9 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Mariners' implied total (3.70) is No. 12 out of 16 active teams in the majors today. Gil owns a strong 31.2 strikeout percentage this season, but he also permits walks at an elevated 13.6 percent clip.
