Cubs' Kyle Schwarber: Bats fifth for Game 1

Schwarber is batting fifth and acting as the designated hitter for the Cubs in their matchup with the Indians in Game 1 of the World Series.

Analysis:

As expected, Schwarber will slot right back into the lineup upon his activation, and he is primed for RBI opportunities in the middle of Chicago's order. He'll be hitting against right-hander Corey Kluber, which could prove to be a decent matchup for the 23-year-old given Schwarber's .953 OPS against righties in 2015.
