The Chicago Cubs have a very strong squad and hands the ball to left-hander Jon Lester who finished last season 13-8 with a 4.33 ERA. They'll face a Marlins team that has lost most of its star players such as Giancarlo Stanton, Dee Gordon, Marcell Ozuna and Christian Yelich. Miami hands the ball to Jose Urena who posted a 14-7 record behind a 3.82 ERA in 2017, but I don't see them home team having the firepower to keep up with the Cubs here on Opening Day.

8* play on Chicago Cubs -1.5.
