6 years agoBoston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is hitting sixth, while first baseman Sam Travis is starting at first base and batting in the seven spot against southpaw Yusei Kikuchi on Friday night. Facing a lefty on the mound, Devers shifts down from the three spot where he hit on Opening Day, while Travis is the right-handed half of the Sox' first base platoon with Mitch Moreland until Steve Pearce returns from the IL. Interestingly enough, Devers has a .279 career AVG vs LHP with 101 wRC+. Meanwhile, Travis has just one career homer and 18 RBI in 121 career plate appearances. Neither present great DFS options on Friday given their situations in the lineup.--Steve Janik - RotoBaller
