Re: MLB 2015 Season - Match Betting Cards (ml) to bt Cubs 5pts @ 2.00 Paddy Cards (-2.5) to bt Cubs 2pts @ 3.90 Bet365 I'm siding with Wainwright over Lester tonight on opening day. The Cubs enter the 'fruition' stage of their overhaul with much more than recently expected of them, but I much prefer the late and post-season Jon Lester than I do the April Jon Lester. As a Red Sox fan I am used to his performance improving the further towards the business end the season gets. Adam Wainwright meanwhile has cracked out to strong starts over the last couple of years before declining after the All-Star break. Last season Wainwright put together a 1.20 ERA through his first 6 games until the end of April, and whilst Lester's stats need to be adjusted to take into account he's moved from the AL to the NL, I still expect Wainwright to get the better of the duel tonight. As has been the case recently with the Cards though, can the offense actually provide the run support to back up the strong pitching performances? They've added Heyward and Reynolds, and can justifiably hope for upwards of 45 HRs from that pair this season, Matt Carpenter has spoken of bringing more aggression into his lead-off duties, and Mike Matheny has spoken often about how they're going to be more aggressive in general. The proof of the pudding is as always in the eating, but I'll have a nibble at them proving this isn't just hyperbole tonight
