The day has finally arrived. Just returned from a very successful short trip to Vegas and I’m ready to swing for the fences on day one. 
Two teams on opening day, both taking them straight and in a parlay. My detailed plays and analysis is below:
Phillies -145 
Zack Wheeler, a Cy Young contender, is on the mound for the Phillies. The guy’s a human buzzsaw, and the Nats’ pitching is a mess after spring injuries. Philly’s lineup is a meat grinder, and Washington’s bullpen might as well wave a white flag. Taking the Phillies -145 here is like betting on a bear to beat a hamster in a cage match.
Dodgers -157
The Dodgers are the World Series favorites for a reason: Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and a roster deeper than a philosopher’s diary. They’re facing Tarik Skubal, last year’s AL Cy Young winner, but Detroit’s offense is shakier than a Jenga tower in a windstorm. LA’s spring was solid (14-9), and they’re at home. Dodgers -157 feels like stealing candy from a tiger cub.
here’s to a successful opening day MLB
