Ben Zobrist leading off on Tuesday for Cubs
Chicago Cubs second baseman/outfielder Ben Zobrist is leading off on Tuesday versus the Chicago White Sox.
Zobrist will start in right field while leading off the order against White Sox left-hander Carlos Rodon. It's a bit of an odd decision, as the switch-hitter is just 7-for-56 (.125) versus southpaws this season. Javier Baez is starting at second base while Addison Russell mans shortstop for the defending champs.
The heavily-favored Cubs have a solid implied total (4.93) and Rodon has a penchant for walking batters this season (16.3 percent), so their lineup offers plenty of upside on Tuesday afternoon. numberFire's models project Zobrist to score 10.5 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,000 for the inner-city matchup.
