Opening Day Draws Near!

Baseball season is back and in full swing. Spring Training is happening, with the regular season and Opening Day coming closer as well. According to SportingNews, the official first MLB regular season game is being played on April 5th, a Sunday night, in Chicago. There we will see the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs go at it. The Cubs are relieved as superstar ace Jon Lester (acquired in free agency) is on track to start against the Cards. He missed a game in Spring Training due to arm fatigue, but nonetheless he will shoot for his Opening Day start. According to ESPN, however, he could very well be limited to a pitch count. Due to this, don't be shocked if the Cardinals do not start scoring until late, when Lester needs to come out of the game. Other games being showcased the next day are:

Home Team	Away Team
Chicago Cubs	St. Louis Cardinals
New York Yankees	Toronto Blue Jays
Detroit Tigers	Minnesota Twins
Milwaukee Brewers	Colorado Rockies
Philadelphia Phillies	Boston Red Sox
Tampa Bay Rays	Baltimore Orioles
Washington Nationals	New York Mets
Miami Marlins	Atlanta Braves
Kansas City Royals	Chicago White Sox
Seattle Mariners	Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Cincinnati Reds	Pittsburgh Pirates
Los Angeles Dodgers	San Diego Padres
Houston Astros	Cleveland Indians
Oakland Athletics	Texas Rangers
Arizona Diamondbacks	San Francisco Giants

Baseball season finally returns, and it brings questions with it. An example is, who will win it all? Many questions and more will come with the beginning of the season, so make sure to tune into Opening Night on Sunday, April 5th!
