Despite the hot start, I'm not convinced the Marlins are a good team. They've beaten up on the Rockies and White Sox, and the Yankees present a whole new set of problems. Will Warren looked good on debut, and the Yankees, playing at home in their home opener, should run away with this one.

Manny Machado o0.5 Total Home Runs (+500)
The San Diego Padres face Sonny Gray today, and Machado is very familiar with him. He’s 12-for-35 lifetime with three long balls. 15 of Machado’s homers last season were off righties, and Gray’s lone HR allowed this year was against a right-handed hitter.

u7.5 (-104)
There’s a compelling case for the Under, which was a winning ticket in four of the last five meetings between these teams – and in all three of Cleveland’s matchups with the defending champs in L.A. this week, including a 4-1 victory on Wednesday.
With two quality starters on the mound, don’t count on the scoring getting out of hand, especially as the Guardians have a batting average of .189 through their first seven games. The hosts should have the hot bat of Chase DeLauter available again this afternoon, but I see Horton putting the clamps on Jose Ramirez and Co.
CHC (-115)
If you’re looking for a free-scoring offense, the Cubs are a good pick. They finished fifth in runs scored in 2025 and, boosted by Alex Bregman’s arrival, they’ve piled up 30 runs through their opening six contests this year. It also helps that Cade Horton is taking the ball today. He’s posted a 1.75 ERA across his past five starts, including a steady effort in his first outing of 2026.
Chicago swept Cleveland when the teams squared off last summer, with Horton pitching seven scoreless innings in one of those victories, and it’s easier to trust the visitors’ lineup here.
