Tigers' Andy Ibanez absent Thursday

Ibanez will return to the bench after leading off against a lefty in Wednesday's series finale against the Kansas City Royals. Riley Greene will take back over for Detroit as both the designated hitter and leadoff batter. Colt Keith will handle the keystone and bat seventh again.

numberFire's models project Greene for 9.1 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Tigers' implied total (3.75) is tied for No. 10 out of 16 active teams in the majors today. Among qualified pitchers this season, Gausman rates in the bottom 13th percentile in xERA (5.40) and bottom 9th in xBA (.292).
