After a week-plus of filling out a Los Angeles Dodgers lineup for two teams during intrasquad games, manager Dave Roberts had to pare his decisions down to just nine players for the start of exhibition play against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Like has long been expected, Mookie Betts was penciled in the leadoff spot. He was followed by Max Muncy, Justin Turner, Cody Bellinger and Corey Seager. In reality, spots Nos. 2 through 5 could be shuffled any which way and still pose a threat.
Betts, Muncy, Turner and Bellinger combined to go 8-for-11 with six RBI and two walks.
