Justin Bour Hitting Third Thursday
6 years agoLos Angeles Angels first baseman Justin Bour is starting at first base and batting third on Opening Day on Thursday against A's starter Mike Fiers. Bour should see regular playing time at first base at least for the first month of the season until Shohei Ohtani (elbow) returns to the designated hitter role. The left-handed slugger has value in deep mixed leagues at the very least for his power stroke, and it doesn't hurt to hit behind the best player in the game. Bour has never faced Fiers in his career but isn't a bad DFS sleeper on Thursday.
