Opening Day is finally upon us!

After a long winter and summer full of nothing but excitement and enthusiasm, the night is finally here when fans can watch Cleveland Guardians baseball again.

Fans who are eager to watch some Cleveland baseball will need to have an energy drink in hand or keep the coffee brewing a little longer because it'll be a late night. The Guardians open up the season in Seattle and the first pitch won't be until 10:10 pm EST.

This is what their lineup will look like for game one.

There aren't too many surprises. This looks very similar to the lineup that fans got to know last season except for Josh Bell and Mike Zunino who have been plugged in after they were signed in free agency.

The one big surprise is Will Brennan getting the start over postseason hero Oscar Gonzalez. Brennan has had a fantastic spring and Gonzalez on the other hand has struggled. The two were expected to split time in right this season, but not this early on.

Shane Bieber will also look to build upon his fantastic second half of the season as the former Cy Young winner looks to return to this form.

Guardians-Mariners should be a fantastic opening series and we don't have to wait too much longer for it to get underway.
