opening day predictions?

Angels will light up Felix opening day in Seattle. Hernandez finished camp 0-3 with a 10.22 ERA in 12 1/3 innings.
Yeah it's spring training but you don't just turn a switch on for opening day in the bigs either. Just saying.

Pirates over Reds

Marlins over Braves

Blue Jays over Yankees

Rays over Orioles

Anything?

Oakland might blow out the rangers on opening day
David price and the tigers should get their first win opening day?
Will masahiro tanaka go lights out?
Can bumgarner and the reigning champs start off on a note, despite lack of wins spring training?
How well will Kershaw start his year off facing updated and kinda scary looking Padres squad

Kershaw normally does well on opening day. But it will probably too much juice to play the Dodgers probably like -180 or -200

i might consider the under but i'm guessing it will be set at over/ under 6.5

I like the pirates over reds too. I didn't think about that one. Hmmm. I had finally made up my mind , I was gonna do parlay of Tigers over twins, Indians over Astros, and Athletics over rangers . But that pirates game is tempting too. I just want to do one big parlay of preferably 3 teams . Need help making the smartest picks

Yeah i am very hesitant to go against any stud pitchers so i said to myself what are 4 sides I can take and avoid going against a "true ace"

I came up with

Giants - Bumgardner over D-Backs - Collementer

Rockies - Kendrick (this is scary) over Brewers -Lohse

A's - Gray over Rangers -Gallardo

Marlins- Alvarez over Braves- Teheran

only thing about these 4 is i dont know how much i trust the Giants offense but i do like Bumgardner against D-Backs line-up

dont know if i trust Kyle Kendrick at all but i do like the Rockies line-up against Lohse

Sonny Gray has had a little trouble with his command and allowing maybe too many walks and it hurts not having Coco Crisp in the line-up but the A's have a big pitching advantage here.

and with the Marlins i just hope they give Alvarez some run support. I am not scared of the Braves hitters but the Braves do have a good bullpen and sometimes the fish struggle to score unless Stanton carries the load.

Yah I just don't know about giants offense, Thats why Im pry not gonna touch it, although last year if I saw bumgardner against Arizona it would be an immediate lock for me. So idk, maybe taking giants would still be the right play tho. The dbacks lineup doesn't scare me as much as the one two punch of Prince fielder and beltre in the rangers lineup vs A's. So maybe giants would be a safer bet? I think Detroit and the Indians are solid picks tho.

I will be placing one ML Parlay - Tiger, Indians, Giants

If anyone has anything to add let me know
