Dave Roberts said the choice will hinge on pitching matchups as Mookie Betts stays hot and Shohei Ohtani returns from the injured list.

- Roberts is debating whether to return Ohtani to leadoff or keep Betts there, saying "as of now, Shohei Ohtani will return to the leadoff spot" but reconsidering based on pitching matchups.
