Kike Hernandez Hitting Third On Sunday
6 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kike Hernandez is starting in center field and is hitting third in Game 5 of the World Series against Red Sox left-hander David Price on Sunday. Cody Bellinger, Joc Pederson, Matt Kemp and Yasmani Grandal will start on the bench in this one. Second baseman Max Muncy will drop down to fifth in the batting order. Hernandez is known as a lefty killer and hit .260/.335/.445 with nine of his 21 homers against southpaws on the season, but he's just 5-for-37 (.135) with two home runs, three RBI, five walks and 13 strikeouts in 14 postseason games. There is upside with Hernandez in DFS games, and he could be worth a contrarian pick for those feeling lucky.
