Atlanta at Philadelphia

The Atlanta Braves will open the season at last year’s World Series Champion - Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies will go with Brett Myers who has a high ceiling, but also has a big drop-off, and was sent to the minors last year to work on his problems. Derek Lowe will get his first start for the Braves. Myers pitched to a losing record last year, and at home the Phillies were just 7-7 in his starts. Last year, the Dodgers were a better than .500 team when Lowe was on the mound, and he won his only start against the Phillies. Cole Hamels, the Phillies No. 1 starter is out with an injury, so the Braves have the edge here with their No.1 starter against the Phillies No. 2, so I'll go with them as the dog here.
