Houston Astros @ Philadelphia Phillies

Normally, a price of 3+ would be too much to resist, but to be frank, the Astros stink. True, the Phillies have some key injuries and Myers would like to put one over his old team, but Halladay should lock down the Houston offense and Philly will have too much punch.

Pick: Phillies -1.5 @ 1.86


Boston Red Sox @ Texas Rangers

The Bosox roll into Arlington with the tag of 'best team in the majors', but first they'll have to watch Texas raise last year's pennant. Then they'll have to take on a leftie who went 3-0 with an 0.86 ERA against them last year. Lester has also fared well against the Rangers, so this might be tight, but I take Texas to celebrate last year's success with a season opening win.

Pick: Rangers @ 2.05
Pick: Under 8.5 @ 2.05
