Shohei Ohtani at DH Thursday for Angels on Opening Day

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani will bat second on Opening Day against right-hander Lucas Giolito and the Chicago White Sox.

What It Means:

Ohtani was lifted early from a pitching appearance on Monday due to a blister, so it's good to see him in the Opening Day lineup. Albert Pujols will make the start on first base over Jared Walsh. The Angels' full lineup: David Fletcher 2B, Ohtani DH, Mike Trout CF, Anthony Rendon 3B, Justin Upton LF, Pujols 1B, Jose Iglesias SS, Max Stassi C, Dexter Fowler RF. Dylan Bundy will pitch for the Halos.

numberFire's models project Ohtani to score 11.0 FanDuel points on Thursday and he has a salary of $3,000 on the Opening Day slate.
