The wait is over. MLB Opening Day is officially upon us.

After more than six weeks of "embracing the target" in Arizona, the Cubs are playing some baseball that actually counts.

Jake Arrieta takes the mound for the Cubs, coming off a Cy Young season and supposedly all clear after a blister issue popped up late in Cactus League play.

Here's how the Cubs will line up behind Arrieta against Garrett Richards and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim:

1. Dexter Fowler - CF
2. Jason Heyward - RF
3. Ben Zobrist - 2B
4. Anthony Rizzo - 1B
5. Kris Bryant - 3B
6. Kyle Schwarber - LF
7. Jorge Soler - DH
8. Miguel Montero - C
9. Addison Russell - SS

Quite a bit different from the early days of Theo Epstein's tenure in Chicago, eh?
