Eric Lauer didn't allow a run in his Opening Day start, and he didn't allow a run in Spring Training, either. Zack Greinke was a disaster in his first start, shelled by the Dodgers for seven runs. But the D'backs have been successful against left-handed pitching, hitting a solid .300 (compared to the Padres' .231 clip against RHPs). Against Lauer specifically, Arizona's lineup is .423. The D'backs rank second only to the Dodgers in runs scored per game, and Greinke won't give up four homers at Petco like he did at Dodger Stadium.

Two of the top starters from Opening Day face off. Jose Berrios struck out 10 for the Twins against the Indians. Brad Keller tossed seven scoreless against the White Sox in his opener, now he gets a Twins lineup that's 2-for-22 all-time against him. The Royals' offense has been more-productive than the Twins' lineup, and Berrios last season was nearly two runs and 48 batting average points worse on the road than at home. It's worth a flyer to take the home underdog.

The Nationals' bullpen has been the worst in MLB by a wide margin. But when Max Scherzer is on the hill, it's practically OK to assume it'll need just 1-2 innings of production. Scherzer has faced the Phillies a lot in his career and he?s been successful, going 9-2 with a 2.64 ERA in 17 starts. He's struck out 30 the last three of them and the current Philly lineup is .173 lifetime against him. On the flip side, the Nationals are .391 against Zach Elfin. Of course, there's the added emotion of welcoming Bryce Harper back to his old haunt for the first time.

Jhoulys Chacin served up back-to-back homers in the opener but otherwise was very solid in an Opening Day win over the Cardinals. He had a Spring Training ERA of just over 1.00 and is backed by one of the top bullpens in baseball. If he avoids Joey Votto, he has a good chance of success. The Brewers’ offense has scored at least four runs in every game this season, and the Reds are batting .200 in this first week. Anthony DeSclafani was a big disappointment in 2018, and worse at home than on the road.
4 Units - #972 - Mariners (-110) vs LA Angels 4/2 *10 EST
Seattle is off a blazing start at 6-1 and despite moving some players with big names, their offense is in an absolute groove right now, scoring better than seven runs a game. Seattle beat up LA 6-3 last night and I expect more of the same. At the moment it is difficult to imagine the Halos Trevor Cahill will slow them, as he's nothing more than a journeyman pitcher. The Angels offense is stuck in neutral and they will face Marco Gonzales who is built for this money line with a record of 13-3 mark when the money line is +125 to -125. (Mariners Record) Listed pitchers as always.
5 Unit Play. Take #712 TCU -1.5 over Texas (9:30p.m., Tuesday, April 2 ESPN)
4 Unit Play. Take TCU (+250) to win the 2019 NIT.
6 Unit Play. Take #712 TCU -1.5 over Texas (9:30p.m., Tuesday, April 2 ESPN) I am a big believer in riding teams that have had success in previous NIT Tournament. TCU won this two years ago and has been playing dominating basketball over this tournament winning all three of their games by at least 13 points. The Horned Frogs have beaten Texas twice already this season and the Longhorns still have injuries and I just do not believe they are all that excited to be in this game. This spread is 3 points short and I fully expect TCU to win this game by double digits. TCU has covered the spread against Texas in 5 of their last 6 meetings. TCU is 17-7 ATS in their last 24 neutral site games. Texas is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. Shaka Smart has been a disappointing hire thus far and I do not see things changing in this game.
4 Unit Play. Take TCU (+250) to win the 2019 NIT. We are taking TCU to win both games and be crowned champion of the 2019 NIT. If you cannot play this bet just disregard it.
