Joey Votto Out, Nick Senzel Leading Off
6 years agoCincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto has the day off on Thursday. Kyle Farmer will fill in at first base and hit eighth, while rookie Nick Senzel is in the leadoff spot and in center field against A's starting pitcher Chris Bassitt. Derek Dietrich is also serving as the designated hitter and is batting third. Senzel has proven valuable in all fantasy leagues right away with six hits in 26 at-bats, including three home runs. Start him on Thursday against Bassitt. Dietrich has also been a nice story for Cincy with a .240 average, nine home runs and 22 RBI in 75 at-bats. He's not a bad low-cost DFS flier in this matchup. Farmer should be ignored.
