Opening Day is finally here! For baseball fans around the country today is almost a holiday. Baseball is back!
It’s a weird thing Opening Day, since you have the start to the longest sports season we have. There is such a buildup to Opening Day, and then once it comes and goes, you have another 7 months of the season! Baseball is probably the best sport to listen to on the radio and the only sport where your team plays legit everyday. Get a win tonight? Good do it again tomorrow. And the next day. All about longevity in a baseball season and the deepest clubs normally make the deepest runs.
This year a lot of players have moved around including the NL MVP last year.
Jeter is running the Marlins into maybe 50 wins
Machado needs a new contract somewhere
Judge might go for 60 jacks – Stanton might too
David Price gona be able to be an effective starting pitcher again?
A ton of Storylines for Opening Day but here are some season wins Over/Unders to bet on:
OVERs
Yankees over 94.5 – Lineup is stacked and they won 91 last year. Added some bats and should win the division
Rockies over 82 – Rockies have a legit lineup with Blackmon & Arenado plus additions of Travis Shaw and closer Wade Davis
UNDERS
Astros under 97.5 – Coming off a World Series W andd 100 games won, its just hard to not be hungover and come right back with 98 wins. Stros will win the division but they wont need 98 wins to do that. Number is just too high
Indians under 95 – Kind of the same rationale here, the number is too hard to repeat coming off such a strong year. The tribe lost Santana who was clutch for them and again coming off 100+ wins I just think it’s hard to repeat that. Gimme the under here
Pretty crazy start to the day, here is the actual first pitch of the season to Ian Haap. andddd Yahtzee
Also Met fans are always excited when the season begins, but we all know how almost every Mets season ends. In July.
