The day off in between Opening Day and the second game will always be a point of consternation for fans. Yes, I know that they need to build a buffer in the schedule in case of weather related issues, but boy howdy does it kill a buzz for those that watched the game. I wonder if there is a study done if it has anything to do with momentum after the victory for the team that did win.
Do they lose the next day more or less often?
Are the hitters better or worse the next day?
