Opening Day MLB
YTD 0-0
Phillies (-106)
Myers over Smoltz. While I don't think the Phillies are the team to beat like Rollins says they are, I do think they have the bats to get the win on opening day vs the Braves bullpen. I don't see Smoltz going 7 here which would mean I would need faith in the Braves pen...taking the home team at close to even money.
Blue Jays (-101)
Halladay over Bonderman. One of the big questions I have for Bondy is how does he react now that he acquired his new contract? Will he pull a Josh Towers? Bonderman is also the type of pitcher who can throw a shutout or pitch batting practice. Halladay I expect to go 7+ and shutdown the Tigers offense, who in my opinion is nothing special. When the catalyst for your offense is Curtis Granderson, you have problems. This is a game Toronto should win, they are the best fastball hitting team in baseball and should have success today.
