Early Slate for OPENING DAY 2k14 March 31st, 2014

1:05pm ET
Cubs (Samardzija) vs Pirates (Lirianio)

Cubs are trying to head North in the rugged and top-heavy NL Central. The Buccos are trying to capture what they did in 2k13 with the reigning 2013 NL M.V. P. Andrew McCutchen and his Partners in Crime "El Toro" and Starling Marte to name few.

1:08pm ET 
Royals (Shields) vs Tigers (Verlander)

The Royals will not sneak up on anybody in 2014 but they are loaded with an abundance of young talent you will soon hear about as Ace James Shields leads that underrated Starting Rotation. The Tigers do not have Prince but they still have Back to Back AL M.V.P. in Miggy Cabrera to go with Verlander and Scherzer with Joe Nathan in the Pen...Tigers an easy pick to repeat for the AL Central Crown...watch those Royals and Indians.

1:10pm ET
Nationals (Strasburg) vs Mets (Gee) 

Stars leads the Nats with a NATitude as Gio Gonzales looks to regain his 2012 Form. The Nats Line Up is filled up with New Skip Matt Williams as he get acquainted with the NL East. The Mets have no Matt Harvey but they still have Hot Corner David Wright along with Yankees Castoff CF Curtis Granderson as they try to get the Amazins' back to being relevant in the NL East.

2:05pm ET
Phillies (Lee) vs Rangers (Scheppers)

Phils have some youth mixed in with some Vets as they try to overhaul their Roster slowly. The Rangers trying to get to the Big One re-tooled that Line Up with Prince Fielder in the middle of Adrian Beltre and Jose Rios. Rangers one of the favs to get out of the AL West along with the Swingin' A's.

2:10pm ET
Braves (Teheran) vs Brewers (Gallardo)

ATL loses a huge Factor in Kris Medlen but they grabbed Ervin Santana and that was a nice pick up. That Lie Up can be real Potent if the Braves can get Heward, BJ Upton, and Dan Uggla back on track.    The Brew Crew gets OF Ryan Braun back to go with Carlos Gomez and SS Jean Segura and Third Baseman "A-Ram" Aramis Ramirez to name a few. Braves pick to battle the Nats for the NL East.

3:05pm ET 
Red Sox (Lester) vs Orioles (Tillman)

Bo Sox picked to get back to the Fall Classic by some and win the AL East by more than a few has everything working in their favor. Clay Buchholz must stay healthy in order for that Staff to be an "Effective Team". Sox will hit with all that Power in the Line Up. The O's are loaded and everything hinges on that Rotation and the new Closer as Jim Johnson is out in Oakland. O's could challenge for the AL East as well with "Crush" Davis and "Adam Bombs" Jones in that line up as they will miss Manny Machado.
