Joe Maddon has slotted Albert Almora in the leadoff spot tonight for the Chicago Cubs, followed by Kris Bryant at third, Anthony Rizzo, and Javier Baez batting cleanup. Willson Contreras is batting fifth, and he is followed by David Bote at 2B, Jason Heyward in RF, and Ben Zobrist in LF. Jon Lester is on the hill.
Going for the Marlins is lefty Caleb Smith, perhaps the lone legitimate reason to want to watch Marlins games.
