Baseball is officially here. As we all know, baseball season is a marathon, not a sprint.
As much fun as it was to bet the entire slate on Opening Day on Thursday, it is probably more beneficial to pick and choose your spots.
With a loaded slate on Saturday, we’ve identified the two games we’re seeing the sharpest action on: Braves vs. Nationals and Twins vs. Royals.
