However, with this the Reds must have been given a curse. There opening day record is pitiful, 61-67-1 dating back to 1882. When Opening day is on March 31st, the Reds are 0-3. In the past 10 years they are 3-7 on opening day and in 2006 gave up the most runs ever on opening day in Reds history to the Cubs (L - 16-7).
With the past aside, I would look at this game to be a great pitching battle. Voloquez came on strong at the end of the year last year, however was rather terrible in the 1H of the season. Gallardo, on the other hand is expected to have a great season this year.
