Lawrence Butler Leading Off On Saturday
Lawrence Butler will be leading off on Saturday afternoon and will play right field. Butler has been batting in the bottom half of the lineup over the past few weeks, but his recent play has earned him the top spot in the order. In his past five games, the 24-year-old has posted a stellar .353/.389/.765 line with two home runs and seven RBI. Under the hood, the former sixth-round pick holds a strong 48.2% hard-hit rate and 10.9% barrel rate, which suggests he could have a big second half. He could be a popular option in DFS this afternoon as he will face Philadelphia right-hander Tyler Phillips, who will make his first major league start.
