New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil will hit fifth versus right-hander Sandy Alcantara and the Miami Marlins on Opening Day.
McNeil will likely be moved all over the order this season, but the reigning NL batting champion is starting 2023 off in the five-hole against a rightie. Here's the Mets' full Opening Day lineup: Brandon Nimmo (CF), Starling Marte (RF), Francisco Lindor (SS), Pete Alonso (1B), McNeil (2B), Mark Canha (LF), Daniel Vogelbach (DH), Eduardo Escobar (3B), Omar Narvaez (C).
numberFire's models project McNeil ($2,900) for 7.9 FanDuel points on Opening Day. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Mets' implied total is 3.63 and the game total is 7.0.
