Rockies starter Jon Gray will have to deal with the return of the greatest leadoff hitter of all time, Anthony Rizzo. Joe Maddon might be trying to get the veteran first baseman going by putting him in a different spot in the order, as Rizzo brings a heart-wrenching .149 batting average and 33 wRC+ into tonight’s game. You may recall that Rizzo homered to lead off his first two games atop the order in 2017, just missing a home run in the third. All told, he put up a 1.114 OPS in 42 at-bats in games he started as the leadoff hitter.
