Braves Atlanta @ Blue Jays Toronto

Charlie Wright recommended betting the First 5 Innings under 4.5 runs between the Braves and Blue Jays, highlighting the strong pitching match-up as a primary reason. He pointed to Braves pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach’s dominance this season, noting his exceptional 0.45 ERA and just 13 base runners allowed over 20 innings pitched. On Toronto's side, Wright also emphasized Kevin Gausman's impressive form, including an eight-inning outing without an earned run against a strong Boston lineup in his last start, lowering his ERA to 2.33. Gausman's fastball velocity appears to have returned fully after dealing with shoulder issues early last year, further supporting Wright's confidence in a low-scoring first half of the game.

Phillies Philadelphia @ Nationals Washington

Charlie Wright recommended betting Zack Wheeler to stay under 6.5 strikeouts on Opening Day against the Nationals. Wright noted Washington had one of MLB's toughest lineups to strike out last season, finishing 8th lowest in strikeout rate vs right-handed pitching and improving further to 4th lowest in the final two months. The Nationals replaced high-strikeout players like Lane Thomas and Joey Gallo with strong contact hitters such as Nathaniel Lowe and Josh Bell, further tightening their strikeout profile. Wright also highlighted Wheeler's limited spring training workload of only 75 pitches and five innings per outing, likely restricting innings and limiting his strikeout ceiling in the opener.
