Mike Moustakas Not Starting On Saturday
3 years agoCincinnati Reds third baseman Mike Moustakas isn't in the lineup on Saturday against the Miami Marlins and right-handed starter Zach Thompson. Moustakas is hitting .203 with a .308 on-base percentage and four home runs in 146 plate appearances this season. It'll be Eugenio Suarez starting at third and batting seventh against Thompson. Suarez has continued to hit for power despite low batting average and on-base percentage numbers this season. He's hitting .172 with a .258 on-base percentage and 23 home runs in 472 plate appearances. You're probably better off leaving Suarez on the bench on Saturday in both daily fantasy play and season-long formats considering that Thompson has allowed just four home runs in 52.2 innings this season.
