Happy Memorial Day
The Cubs open a four-game series with the Dodgers on Memorial Day (4:05pm CDT). And Joe Maddon has a different look at the top of the lineup.
Ben Zobrist is hitting leadoff for the Cubs on Monday and playing right field. Dexter Fowler is getting the day off against lefty Alex Wood. Jason Heyward is in center field, batting second behind Zobrist.
The numbers suggested Maddon might begin Monday’s game with a balanced lineup. Right-handers are hitting .227/.276/.333 with a .609 OPS against Alex Wood.
