After missing the series in Montreal, Edwin Encarnacion is back in the lineup and ready for opening day. Chris Colabello gets the start over Justin Smoak at first base, as Chris Archer was slightly better against left-handed hitters last season. Smoak, Darwin Barney, Ezequiel Carrera, and Josh Thole will be available off of the bench.
Interestingly enough, the game will be nationally televised throughout the United States on ESPN 2. For a fun game, you can compare this lineup with the Blue Jays opening day lineups in previous seasons. Let's hope for an opening day win and a terrific 2016 season.
