Around The League Opening Day!

I don't do this often, but since its Opening day/night, The Defending World Champion Cardinals are going to take on the New Look Florida Marlins in Florida tonight. As Kyle Lohse takes on Josh Johnson. First  pitch is set to be thrown at 6:05 central time. TMy prediction for tonights match up is Florida 4 St.Louis 3. Yes, I have the defending champs losing and the Marlins starting their season off 1-0. Lohse is a great pitcher don't get me wrong, but I think Reyes, Bonifacio, Ramirez, and a DETERMINED John Buck, will overcome the Cards. And again the Cards have Beltran, Holliday, Berkman, Molina, and Freese, but I call the shocker, and go against the Cards and go with the Underdogs. We shall see. So lets go ahead and look around the league at the rest of the Opening day match ups.
