Odds: BOS -165 (risk 165 to win 100)
The probables
Cole makes the first Opening Day start of his career. Last season, he wasn’t up to his usual standards, partly because of injury, as he pitched to a 3.88 ERA in 21 starts. He’ll be looking to get back to his 2015 form, when he finished fourth in the NL Cy Young balloting.
Speaking of the Cy Young Award, Porcello of course won the AL version last season for Boston. Like Cole, he’s getting his first Opening Day start.
