YTD: 0-0
Been out of town for the past few days. Baseball is my sport being a former player. Never capped it before last season's playoffs. Went 8-0 in the playoffs last year and this is my first time playing regular season. Two plays caught my eye today before researching any others.
Plays are rated 1*-5*(highest)
2* Braves @ Marlins OV 7.5 runs
2* Marlins -125
John Smoltz vs. Josh Beckett. Sounds like a pitcher's duel huh? Not exactly. While Smoltz and Beckett pitched very well in Spring Training, they never went deep into starts. Smoltz returns to the starting role and people aren't acting like this is a big move. Going from a closer to a starter is a very hard thing to do. If Smoltz lasts more than 5 innings today I will be very surprised. Beckett has come off of an inconsistent year and has a lot of pressure on him this year to be the Golden Boy. Marlins are 6-5 on opening day and own the Braves. I think the key to this game is a big run inning in the 5th off of Smoltz. I think both teams will put up at least 3-4 runs a piece, but I think the Marlins win on opening day with the public thinking there is value with the Braves.
