The Opening Night game between the Dodgers and Padres is a nice spot for a play, i think. The pitching matchup is pretty close to even here with Ryu vs. Cashner, and the offenses are pretty equal as well (perhaps a slight edge to the Dodgers). That gives the home-field Padres a slight edge in the game, and it's probably a bigger edge than it ordinarily might be, with Dodgers pitcher Ryu dealing with a toe injury since making his last start in Australia last week (he actually had to go to the doctor and have part of his toenail removed just a few days ago). And of course, the Dodgers are also coming off that long-ass flight back from Australia, so they might still be a little bit drained from that. Matt Kemp not playing yet either.
However, despite what i think is an edge to the Padres here, the game opened at a coin-flip price, and will likely be drifting to the Dodgers' side throughout the day (because they're a big public team, and perhaps also because they're already 2-0 this year (their most recent win coming with tonight's pitcher Ryu on the mound).
So let's play the Padres (Cashner) -103 vs. the Dodgers (Ryu).
