Orioles opener features Inciarte back at leadoff, Albies second

The Braves have once again reshuffled the top of their order in an attempt to get someone, anyone, on base for when Freddie Freeman comes to the plate. (Or they could just bat Freeman second and obviate this problem, but shhhhh.)

Here’s how the Braves line up for tonight’s opener.

This will be Inciarte’s first time hitting leadoff since June 3. The Braves have tried both him and Ozzie Albies at leadoff this season (plus Swanson for one game last weekend), and Albies currently has 39 starts in the 1-hole to Inciarte’s 33.
