If you are a fan of the game, you know just how competitive a MLB season can be, and nothing juices it up more than cashing in on the MLB wagering opportunities like those offered by Sportsbook.com. On Sunday, the official Opening Day, ESPN2 brings New York and St. Louis to your living room, a game pitting the defending World Series Champion Cardinals against a team favored to make a run for it this year.

These teams last met in the 2006 NL Championship Series, a thrilling seven game classic. According to the futures odds, New York is a virtual lock to win the NL East at 10 to 11 odds. The Cards, even though they’ve again lost some players on the free agent market, figure to make noise this season as well.

The pitching matchup puts a pair of veterans against one another, with Tom Glavine going for the Mets, and Chris Carpenter hurling for the hosts. The left-hander Glavine was 17-8 last year, and the Mets were 26-9 overall in his starts for a sterling +15.25 units of profit. Meanwhile, Carpenter was 18-9 individually and his team was 24-13 in all 37 starts, including 4-1 in the postseason.

While Sunday brings just this one showcase game, don’t forget that on Monday, the first full betting board of baseball greets the handicapper, with opening day games in 13 cities, including Chicago, where the formidable White Sox host division rival Cleveland. The Bronx Bombers are also in action, hosting Tampa Bay.
