Pittsburgh Pirates
Jameson Taillon matched his impressive 2016 rookie numbers in 2018 but over nearly 90 more innings. He also improved his strikeout rate and threw his first two compete games and shutout.

He looks like a guy ready to build on that performance and he may have to in order to give the Pirates’ offense a chance to win more than 70 games, especially with Gregory Polanco set to miss at least the first month of the season as he continues to recover from a back injury that ended his 2018 early.
Cincinnati Reds
The Reds and Pirates figure to compete for the final two spots in the NL Central, with some even projecting the Reds to finish ahead of Pittsburgh.
I’m not sure that’s fair. Cincinnati added a group of ragtag veteran starting pitchers to its rotation in Tanner Roark, Sonny Gray, and Alex Wood. That trio isn’t going to solve the bigger issue, which is the system and whether it can develop any arms.

None of those guys will start Opening Day on Thursday. That would be Luis Castillo, who was inconsistent a year ago but showed flashes of dominance.
David Bell is in his first year as the Reds’ Manager. That always provides a team with a jolt of energy, especially to start the season.

Free Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Cincinnati Reds MLB Prediction: under.
The total feels a bit high for two teams that don’t feature that much bop in the middle of the lineup. On Opening Day, I like the under.
