AAA's ULTRA-EARLY 10* OPENING DAY DESTRUCTION (3-0 +$2,600 IN SPRING TRAINING!)
(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. Miami,
Money Line: 172.00 Miami (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* DESTRUCTION on the Miami Marlins.

Looks like a good spot for an upset. Jon Lester isn't getting any younger for Chicago. Lester did post a decent 2.81 ERA in five spring starts, but note the he had a 4.33 ERA overall last season (that includes a 5.42 ERA in all "day" games.)

Jose Urena was 14-7 with a 3.82 ERA last year. Urena posted a weak 7:6 K:BB ratio over 7.1 spring innings, but note that he was particularly sharp in this position last year, posting a respectable 3.21 ERA at home, but going a "lights out" 6-1 with a 2.40 ERA in all "day" games.

The bottom line: Opening Day and almost anything can happen. Chicago's line-up has once again gone through offseason changes, so we'll call them a "wash." We think these pitchers are a lot closer than what Vegas wants us to think as well, which shifts the value onto the underrated home side hurler. Great value, play on the MARLINS for the Opening Day upset.
