We’re baaaack! Well, they were almost back, and then the weather canceled Thursday’s opening night in The Boogie Down. Regardless of that, it is exciting to get America’s pastime back on the field and we almost thought we wouldn’t even be here! Now that we’ve avoided another 1994 disaster we can get back to the games and it’s time for baseball, baby! PLAY BALL!!
It’s opening day at the Big House and who else would we expect to see in town other than the Yanks’ biggest rivals?! It’s not just another opening day when we have the Bosox & Bombers to kick off the new season in New York.
As you are likely aware, some changes came to both teams but the one thing the Yankees did wrong was to re-sign Mr. Braindead! Aaron Boone couldn’t manage a taco stand at a beach in South Carolina much less run a baseball team. That is why you will be playing the Yankees Team Total Under 91.5 games as your first bet of the season. It was 95.5 last season I pissed all over that Under that is posted on my site and I have 7 MLB Team Total future bets posted again for this season.
Boston Red Sox
Rafael Devers came out of the gate hitting the ball hard as his 6 dingers in spring training tied him for second in MLB behind Higashioka of the Yanks (7). At 10 – 9 this spring, there isn’t much to take from that although they might be upset to have to start the year on the road instead of back at Fenway Park. The season was supposed to open in Boston for the Sox but the off-season crap took that away and here they are instead opening the year on the road.
Chris Sale is back on the DL… SHOCKER! What a waste of time that dude ended up being for Boston after all the hype he brought with him from Chicago.
Nathan Eovaldi will get the opening day nod although he struggled in his last spring start allowing 5 ER in a 7 – 2 loss. Rich Hill somehow was named the 5th starter in the rotation the other day and that dude is just one big gas can! He got lit up in his final tuneup as well so this could be one interesting campaign in New England.
Alex Cora seems to like his offense as Devers and Xander Bogaerts will certainly have a ton of expectation on them to produce big seasons. The two will certainly be asked and expected to carry the load on a nightly basis and should either of them miss time it could be costly to the Sox chances of making it back to the playoffs.
Pitching is going to be what kills this team and you heard it here! However, I do see Eovaldi being able to come up with a nice performance today and this line is so juicy! No, I don’t mean the shit -165 on the Yanks I am talking about the +145 with the Sox to start 2022 1 – 0! I know, right!?! Who said the Sox couldn’t possibly beat this Yankees team tonight? I think the line setters are out of their minds as Bet365 and 888sport both offer 2.45 (+145) on the Sox to take the W.
NY Yankees
His brains were oozing all over the dugout last year and Aaron Boone will likely cost the Yanks another 10 wins this season just because he can’t manage a team. I am sorry, and yes, you saw me say it all last year with my Yankees previews around here. BRAIN FUCKING DEAD!!
The day the Yankees announced that mother fucker was coming back again after these last few years of shit? I threw up a little and knew within 10 minutes that whatever the team total was again this season I would be pissing all over it. I am not convinced in the least that he can help the Yankees win games and then the depth and overall talent on this year’s roster isn’t exactly screaming for success in 2022.
However, let’s talk about Mr. Higashioka hitting a baseball this spring, right? After the pair of dingers the other day he was leading all of MLB with 7 bombs while a trio of players bashed 6 of them behind him. Devers is one of them as I mentioned above. With Gary Sanchez going to Minnesota to play for the Twins, there will be a lot of concern behind the dish this season for the Bombers.
As it stands on the last day of spring ball, Higashioka is the most experience catcher on the Yanks roster, and wait… Excuse me, I need to go wipe myself! Hey, tearing the cover off the ball in spring training doesn’t mean dick to me so there is a massive concern at the Catcher’s position this season in New York. And again I am sorry but Jose Fucking Trevino may have been drafted in 2014 but experienced? Shut up! Obviously, Higashioka was Cole’s personal catcher last year as he simply did not want to form an on-field relationship with Sanchez.
Of course, getting Stanton and Judge to stay on the field is always a concern for us Yankee fans because for a pair of dudes who look so solid they have both missed time to injuries. Stanton certainly ended last season on a high note which he rode into the playoffs. It was only one game and a Wildcard berth but he was the guy that put up a 3 for 4 night with a homer in the loss to Boston that ended 2021.
And then the Dj LeMahieu situation which was a complete disaster in 2021. He signed the big contract and then on top of not hitting there was no place for him on the infield when Rizzo came over from Chicago to play first base. Aaron Boone was essentially trying to give 4 dudes playing time at first and it never panned out. Rizzo is back this season
On the injury front. Zach Britton will be down for what could be the entire season and Domingo German will be out for at least the first 2 months of the season, if not more.
Damnit, I could go on and on and then on some more but they don’t like when I do that! Let’s just say that Donaldson and Torres better both stay healthy and have a big season or else this infield will struggle mightily!

Free Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees MLB Prediction:
I like Boston at this stupid price the oddsmakers are feeding us. That is too sweet for me to just let sit there to fade the Yanks on opening day. Might I add that when I saw the line setters put up a 7.5 on the total I almost shit myself? Yeah, Boston wins 6 – 4 so play it accordingly!
