After having their outing postponed a day back due to rain, Cincinnati will play host to the reigning NL East champs, Washington. Cincinnati will be throwing out Homer Bailey to oppose the always stellar Max Scherzer. Washington opened up as (-187) money line favorites, while the line has remained semi-stagnant.
Washington Nationals
As per usual, Washington enters the season with lofty expectations, sitting as favorites to win another NL East title. They boast a lethal lineup with solid starting pitching.
The question mark has been their bullpen who posted a 4.41 ERA last year, so have they done enough to answer those questions during this off season. If they can correct those issues there is no cap on how many games this team can win.

Speaking of pitching, the 33 year old ace Scherzer will be making yet another opening day start. A Hall of Famer with Hall of Fame numbers posting career numbers such as 10.2 K/9, 2.53 BB/9, 10.3% HR/FB ratio, 3.30 ERA and 3.25 FIP. Phew!
This will be just another start for Scherzer so expect him to stroll right along giving up a run here or there, but maintain control of this game. He’ll have the help of one of the best lineups from a year ago backing him up.
Cincinnati Reds
Cincinnati has been a meddling pack since recent years, giving teams run for their money, but they have been relying on young pitching and inconsistent bats, which has given them inconsistent results.
Another year under this young pitching staffs belts, so maybe we will see sharp improvements from a bunch that posted a 5.17 ERA a year ago.

We haven’t seen much of Bailey in the last couple years as he has had to deal with Tommy John Surgery and bone spurs. I’m sure he’ll come out ready and focused as he’ll be eager to prove his worth to the home crowd who has been missing him.
He is by no means a strikeout artist posting a career K/9 of 7.41, but he does well with his command for the most part owning a 2.99 BB/9 and keeps the ball in the park with HR/9 of 1.04 and a HR/FB ratio of 11.3%.
