Season Record 0-0
Starting Bankroll $1000
Will play the Rangers +140 for $150. Never like teams celebrating in their championship at home in their first game....too many distractions. Also, have to look at the teams in their current form, not the end of last year. Rangers playing better and Lackey not so great this spring. Valdes is a veteran who tends to get arm weary late in year but should be strong going in. Also like Showalter at the helm for the Rangers...he's an agressive mgr who does the little things to win and should be a good match for the team, that has tended to sit back and wait for the long ball. Angels big guns not hitting this spring so far and don't think they can turn it on just because it's opening day. Think Rangers can knock Lackey about by the 5th or 6th. Valdes should go about 5-6 innings OK and the pen hangs on.
