The Almanac's Take

Only one game on the board and just the Royals' side confirmed — the Yankees lineup hasn't posted yet, so the grid is half-empty for now. Within what's here, the notable wrinkle is Bobby Witt Jr. slotting second rather than leadoff, carrying a .824 OPS and 9 home runs into a spot that should see plenty of traffic. Michael Massey at sixth is worth a look if the Yankees' pitching matchup clarifies — .770 OPS down the order is quiet value. Check back once New York posts; the read changes depending on who they're running out there.
