Happy Opening Day, everyone. Before we begin, here’s the Dodgers’ starting lineup, courtesy of their Twitter account.

I like this format. I hope they do it every game (but I don’t think they will).
As for the lineup itself, it’s a little surprising. The starting eight isn’t surprising, but the order is a bit. Andrew Toles draws leadoff duties instead of new acquisition Logan Forsythe (who hits fifth).
