Pablo Sandoval on third base for Giants versus Dodgers
San Francisco Giants infielder Pablo Sandoval is batting third and starting on third base in Thursday's season opener against right-hander Dustin May and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
What It Means:
Sandoval could see consistent starts early on while Brandon Belt (heel) and Evan Longoria (oblique) are unavailable. He set an eight-year high with a .507 slugging percentage last season. Hunter Pence is starting after dealing with a foot issue in summer camp. The Giants' full Opening Night lineup: Mike Yastrzemski CF, Wilmer Flores 3B, Sandoval 1B, Alex Dickerson LF, Hunter Pence DH, Joe McCarthy RF, Mauricio Dubon 2B, Brandon Crawford SS, Tyler Heineman C. Johnny Cueto will be on the mound.
numberFire's models project Sandoval for 9.8 FanDuel points on Thursday. He costs $2,100.
