PT TOMORROW: NL Central - Batting order observations, opportunity, and playing time crunches

Milwaukee Brewers

The Brewers opened the season against three right-handers over the weekend, providing a potential glimpse of their lineup for the majority of the season. While there weren’t any major surprises in terms of players in the lineup, there were some interesting notes in regard to the order.
