Stephen Nover's MLB Opening Day Big Casher
(MLB) NY Mets vs. Washington,
Money Line: 118.00 Washington (Home)
Result: Loss
The Nationals are a home 'dog to the Mets. That's not surprising considering New York has Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer. Neither of those two studs is pitching, though.

Instead the Mets are going with second-year Tylor Megill, who was 4-6 with a 4.52 ERA in 18 starts last year.

I'm projecting a nice comeback season for Washington starter Patrick Corbin.

So I'm going to take a plus price with Washington. Corbin was terrible last season. But the southpaw appears to have straightened things out looking great during his two spring training starts posting a 0.00 ERA. Corbin struck out 10 in nine innings while permitting just six hits.

The Mets were 18-33 versus lefty starters last year.

The National League is using the DH now. The Nationals signed one of the best DH's in Nelson Cruz.
