Victor Robles Hitting Ninth On Opening Day
6 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles is starting in center field and batting ninth on Opening Day on Thursday against Mets starter Jacob deGrom. The 21-year-old Robles had 17 hits in 59 at-bats (.288) and three home runs in 21 games for the Nats last year and has a lot of upside, but his ceiling is lowered somewhat by hitting at the bottom of the order, especially in DFS games. He's also facing a very tough matchup against 2018's National League Cy Young winner in deGrom.
