It's Opening Day, and it's time for the Phillies to lay another egg to start the season. Hopefully they don't this time, but Chico has looked good in the few at-bats he's faced our lineup. Those are only predicted lineups based on expected platoons (and in Washington's case, what they did last night,) but on most days, real lineups will probably be available before I do this.

The Nationals may be a bit hung over from last night's game and travel, so if the Phillies can jump on them quick, they have a very good shot at winning the game. It's kind of unfair to Washington, but I'll take it.
