Baseball’s new year is officially upon us. On Sunday, six teams will begin their regular-season schedule -- a 162-game march that will lead the good and lucky to October.
Here’s how you can watch one of those games -- the one between the San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks.
When: 4:10 p.m. ET
Where: Chase Field
TV: ESPN2
Streaming: MLB.tv, WatchESPN
Odds: SF -130 (risk 130 to win 100)
The probables
Getting the nod for the Giants? Who else but Bumgarner, now making his fourth Opening Day start in a row. Other streaks Bumgarner hopes to keep alive: 1. Receiving a Cy Young Award vote (for the fifth consecutive year), and 2. tossing 200-plus frames (for the seventh). Bumgarner seems well positioned to keep both stones rolling.
An equally obvious pick for the Opening Day start -- Greinke didn’t come to Arizona to pitch in the second or third game. Greinke will try to have a better second year in the desert after posting his worst ERA+ since 2010, and his worst strikeout-to-walk ratio since 2013.
