Jake Marisnick Starting Against Lefty In Game 5
5 years agoHouston Astros outfielder Jake Marisnick is starting in center field and is batting ninth against Yankees left-hander James Paxton in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series on Friday. With the southpaw on the mound, Josh Reddick will take a seat for this one. Marisnick is mainly used late in games for his defensive prowess. He hit just .225 (23-for-102) with four home runs and 14 RBI against left-handers this year, so DFS gamers will likely want to shy away from the light-hitting Marisnick. He slashed .233/.289/.411 with 10 homers, 34 RBI and 10 steals in 292 at-bats this year.
