Tyler O'Neill Fifth, Harrison Bader Sixth in Cardinals Lineup
6 years agoThe St. Louis Cardinals are featuring a different lineup than usual for Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals, with right fielder Tyler O'Neill batting fifth and center fielder Harrison Bader batting sixth. Outfielder Jose Martinez is not in the lineup. This is O'Neill's first start since returning from the injured list on April 26, and it's also the highest Bader has been in the batting order this year after spending most of the season hitting eighth. The Cardinals are facing Stephen Strasburg, but it may still be worth a shot chasing DFS home runs with O'Neill. Bader is an easier DFS fade, but would become a more valuable standard league asset if he starts to regularly bat sixth instead of eighth.
