Today, real, regular season baseball gets underway, well kind of and only sort of. The Dodgers play the Cubs in Japan, and if you are awake as of 6am Eastern Time, you can watch it. Otherwise most people will either not even know that the regular season starts today or that there is even a game for that matter. On paper, this game should be a foregone conclusion and the Dodgers should win but, the Cubs have made some upgrades and could be a team to watch, especially in a very wide open NL Central.
