Record 0-1 (-1.15 Units)

Reds +135 1 Unit
Give me the home team with a power packed middle of the line-up. Pedro's teams have not fared well in past opening days.

Phillies -130 to win 2 Units
Lieber is now 2 years removed from Tommy John surgery and ready to bounce back. Big advantage for Philly bullpen in this one. Early in the season when starters average 6 innings this a very important factor. Livan also not the same pitcher outside of Olympic Stadium. ERA of 2.92 indoors as opposed to 4.17 outside.

Padres -115 to win 1 Unit
Starting pitchers are a wash. Woody is really the Pads #3 SP in my opinion. Padres are the better overall team with a MUCH better bullpen. If Col has a lead who is their set-up man? Closer? Give me Linebrink-Otsuka-Hoffman to seal the deal.

Good Luck

Adding

Orioles/A's Over 9 -110 to win 1 Unit

Orioles line-up is basically loaded. Zito throws a lot of pitches and has a tendency to lose control in one of the middle innings. The O's will cash in on this and I don't see Rordrigo Lopez shutting down the A's.


Ty thanks for the advice. The whole world seems to be on the Phillies, but I will stick to my guns and hope it comes down to a battle of the bullpens.
