Christian Yelich batting third for Brewers on Opening Day
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is starting in left field and batting third in Thursday's season opener against right-hander Kyle Hendricks and the Chicago Cubs.
What It Means:
Yelich recorded a .327 batting average from 2018-19, but he is batting a combined .234 over the past two seasons, so he will look to get back on track in 2022. The Brewers' full Opening Day lineup: Kolten Wong 2B, Willy Adames SS, Yelich LF, Andrew McCutchen DH, Rowdy Tellez 1B, Hunter Renfroe RF, Omar Narvaez C, Lorenzo Cain CF, Jace Peterson 3B. Corbin Burnes is taking the mound for Milwaukee.
Yelich has a $3,300 salary on Thursday and numberFire's models project him for 12.2 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Brewers have the highest implied total (5.38) in the majors on Opening Day.
