Thursday night's batting lineup for game one of the four-games series between the Chicago Cubs (2-3) vs. the Milwaukee Brewers (4-2) at 7:10 p.m. CDT at Miller Park will be the following:
1. Ian Happ LF 2. Ben Zobrist RF 3. Kris Bryant 3B 4. Anthony Rizzo 1B 5. Willson Contreras C 6. Albert Almora Jr. CF 7. Addison Russell SS 8. Javier Baez 2B 9. Jon Lester P
Gold glove outfielder Jason Heyward sits while Ben Zobrist gets the start and slotted in the second hole in front of Kris Bryant. This could be a good idea to put someone that makes regular contact in front of Bryant and Anthony Rizzo.
Slugger Kyle Schwarber is also riding the bench tonight but will more than likely get a pinch-hit opportunity late in the game if needed.
Veteran Jon Lester (0-0, 8.10 ERA) will be on the mound today for his second start of the season opposed by lefty Brent Suter (1-0, 5.40 ERA).
Brewers lineup vs. Cubs
Cain CF Santana RF Braun LF Shaw 3B Aguilar 1B Perez 2B Arcia SS Bandy C Suter P
Tonight's game will be on NBC Sports Chicago and MLB.TV.

I'm looking forward to Ben Zobrist at the 2nd spot he will make it interesting if he gets hits and not strikeouts. I can see him taking the place of leadoff if Happ can't pull it together soon. And put Happ to 2nd or 3rd to get more production from Happ.
