MLB Opening Day Odds
Scott Morris | March 27, 2019
2019 Opening day is starting earlier than ever. This is a good thing to some folks but many long time baseball fans feel let down. They looked forward to the tradition of opening day being on Sunday afternoon, when most people are off work.
The line-ups are truly stellar. This is some of the best opening day pitching I can remember. And other than the NYY (-340) there are no other super heavy favorites on the board.
Picks
Although there is only preseason numbers and spring training standings to work with, we still have some picks for opening day. We know these pitchers well and have studied the roster changes. But, until you see them play together in a game that counts you have to be a little cautious. That is why we are risking small wagers on these picks. Two favorites and two dogs, all of them road teams. Do with them as you feel:
- Pirates +108 (Taillon)
- Arizona +145 (Grienke)
- San Francisco -114 (Bumgarner)
- Cleveland -135 (Kluber)
