Dodgers and Giants Release Lineups for Spring Training Opener on Saturday
By Adam Weinrib
The Los Angeles Dodgers will kick off their highly-anticipated revenge tour on Saturday afternoon, with a hated rival on the other side of the field.
And though fans will have to wait until Sunday to watch Mookie Betts' official debut in Dodger blue, there's still plenty of firepower in the order for this one.

Dag, only one MVP in Cody Bellinger, and not the other? I guess fans will simply have to deal.
Of course, there's a man with some hardware in the cleanup spot on the other side of the diamond, as Buster Posey will squat behind the plate for this contest. Evan Longoria and Brandon Belt make up the middle of the lineup for the rebuilding Giants.
The weather may yet get in the way of this one, unfortunately -- though the game hasn't been canceled like others in the area, its start time has been pushed back in an effort to evade the waves.
Cactus League games are being cancelled -- but not by the Giants. They have pushed the start of today's game v #Dodgers in Scottsdale back to 3:15 pm (2:15 pm PT) in hopes of a change in the weather.

If Dodgers fans have to wait 'til Sunday to watch their team AND get Mookie Betts in the process, that wouldn't be so bad after all.
