The Almanac's Take

Two lineups are posted, and both are partial — no away team confirmed for Tampa Bay, no home team for Boston's game. What stands out in the Rays' order: Junior Caminero at third with 35 home runs and a .909 OPS, while Yandy Díaz is leading off at .827 — an unusual split that has the lineup's best power bat sitting behind its most disciplined hitter. On the Red Sox side, Wilyer Abreu's 22 homers and .816 OPS at third are worth noting, but Andruw Monasterio hitting sixth with a .838 OPS looks like a misplaced bat given his production.
