Jesse Winker To Start On Bench
6 years agoCincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker is not in the starting lineup on Monday night against Dodgers left-handed starter Clayton Kershaw. Matt Kemp will draw the start in left field against his old team and bat third. Catcher Curt Casali is also hitting leadoff in this one. Winker has picked things up of late with the bat, but he's still off to a slow start with a .190 average despite hitting four homers and driving in eight runs. Kemp has a .162 average (6-for-37) with 14 strikeouts, but he has added incentive to produce this evening. Consider him a contrarian play in DFS. Casali has six hits in his first 16 at-bats (.375) and has sleeper appeal at the top of the lineup.
