It’s opening day in Baseball, with 14 games. Most are afternoon starts the first being Kansas City Royals at Detroit Tigers. This game is set to start at 1 in the afternoon. The starting pitcher for the Royals is Gil Meche, he did an outstanding job in last year's opener, defeating the Red Sox. Now he gets the honor again at Detroit, where he'll face a hostile crowd and a very hostile lineup. He's 4-1 lifetime in nine games at Comerica Park. The Tigers will go with Justin Verlander. He had a breakout year last year winning 18 games. I pick the Royals to win this game as Meche is a better pitcher.
