Rafael Devers To Hit Third On Opening Day
6 years agoBoston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers will hit third on Opening Day on Thursday against Mariners left-hander Marco Gonzales. However, first baseman Steve Pearce (calf), who is starting on the injured list, will typically hit third against left-handers when he's healthy. Devers swings from the left side, so his matchup on Opening Day isn't ideal for those playing DFS. However, Devers has hit .280 against lefties in the majors, but he also has only five of his 31 homers against them.
