Anthony Rizzo batting leadoff for the Cubs on Tuesday
Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo will bat leadoff against the New York Mets on Tuesday.
What It Means:
This will be Rizzo's first crack at batting leadoff this season, having spent 53 of his games batting out of the three-hole and the other 9 batting cleanup. Jon Jay, who led off against the Mets on Monday, is out of the lineup today.
Rizzo also draws a solid matchup today, taking on Mets' righty Zack Wheeler, who has a 4.40 SIERA on the year. Rizzo has a .356 wOBA on a 32.0% hard-hit rate against right-handed pitching this season, and bringing those numbers into the leadoff spot gives him some solid value in fantasy.
