Jeff McNeil Batting Cleanup On Opening Day
                
        
        New York Mets second baseman Jeff  McNeil is starting at the keystone and batting cleanup for the Mets on Opening Day on Thursday against Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Freddy  Peralta. McNeil isn't your typical cleanup hitter with mediocre power, but if he sticks in this position regularly against right-handed pitching, it will give him more opportunities for RBI with Brandon  Nimmo, Francisco  Lindor and Pete  Alonso hitting in front of him. It's a batting order for New York that probably won't last too long once veteran designated hitter J.D.  Martinez gets up to speed after signing with the team late in spring training. The 31-year-old McNeil won a batting title in 2022 but disappointed last year and is still dealing with a partially torn UCL that he's playing through. Aside from a useful batting average, McNeil isn't a lock to help with much else.
