Dylan Lee wasn’t told until this afternoon that he’d be starting tonight, Atlanta manager Brian Snitker says, ‘for his sake.’’

Zack Greinke is batting 8th tonight
— Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports) October 30, 2021
He's the 2nd pitcher in World Series history to start a game batting anywhere other than 9th, joining:
Babe Ruth in 1918 World Series Game 4, who hit 6th in that game
12 batters max for Greinke (reverse splits) seems like the play here for the Astros. Yimi Garcia or Cristian Javier for the 2nd trip through the RH-heavy Nos. 4-8 spots, depending on if Riley’s AB comes up in the middle of an inning (Garcia) or at the start of an inning (Javier). https://t.co/cu3d9Ojhz7

Ruth batting 6th? He led the league in homers, slugging, and OPS that season. Did Dusty manage that team?

So if the majority of a team gets Covid would that delay the World Series games…?

He's probably batting 8th just in case we have a good opportunity to score in the 2nd inning. Pinch Hitter would be better than Maldy.
