Boy was I wrong about the Nationals yesterday. Apparently they saved all their hitting for the regular season. With a 14mph wind I was a bit surprised at how some of the OF's were playing the ball as so many ended up falling in right field. We'll see what happens tomorrow when the Cubs again face off vs. the Nats.
Today, I really like Chris Sale at home on opening day. In fact, I believe his opening day record is 6-0, at least from what my research has turned out. But he faces another really solid LHP in Cole Ragans and for that reason I don't think the Braves have their very best lineup. I think the better angle is that both of these guys end up dealing and the game goes UNDER. The Braves bullpen was pretty solid in the spring and Iglesias looks to be back to his old self, but then again it's only spring ball. While Sale's odds are a bit low in my opinion, there might be reason for that. I'm going to again back an UNDER but with hopefully a much different outcome.
UNDER 7.5 (KC/ATL) -112
I'm also going to take a stab on a game that I think is a bit overpriced, probably because the team that is getting the long odds are the Rockies. I believe while they won't rebound that much this year, they will not be as disastrous as last. And since last year was a record for losses, that's not saying much. Sandy Alcantara is a shell of the guy he used to be so getting +164 in what I think is a coin flip game is good enough for me. Kyle Freeland has been around long enough that he will know how to pitch to a Marlins lineup that isn't much to write home about without Stowers.
COLORADO (+164)
Would be ideal to get the sweep today and grab a short profit on the first couple of days. I also think there is no reason Ryne Nelson can't give the Dodgers a game, he has been good against them in his career and Sheehan isn't Yamamoto. Let's keep these two for now and, as always, tail or fade, good luck to all...

Seeing that Kikuchi is 1-6 with a 5.83 ERA against the Astros and that Jeremy Pena is officially back, I see the Stros getting game #2. I will pay the juice here and make the Astros a TWO unit play:
HOUSTON (-169)...BIG PLAY (2 UNITS)
Hoping everyone has had a strong start to the season or strong end to NCAAB if you play that as well.
