The Almanac's Take

One game posted so far, so the board is thin. Detroit's Riley Greene (.844 OPS, 15 HR) hitting fifth is the headliner — that's a slot lower than his production probably warrants, which depresses his counting-stat exposure a touch. More interesting is Hao-Yu Lee batting sixth with a .859 OPS and only 3 HR, meaning his value is almost entirely contact and on-base; he's a run-scorer, not a pop play. Kansas City's Jac Caglianone (15 HR, .768 OPS) in the three-hole is the Royals' clearest pivot if you want power from that side.
