We have finally made it to Opening Day, everyone! Today at 3:10 pm CT the St. Louis Cardinals will open their 2023 season with a pitch from Miles Mikolas to Willson Contreras and the sky will open, clouds will part, birds with sing, and the people will rejoice. Baseball is back! Not a bad way to spend a beautiful spring day in St. Louis, Missouri.
The starters for the Cardinals are scheduled to be Mikolas, Jack Flaherty, and Jordan Montgomery. Opposing them from Toronto will likely be Alek Manorah, Kevin Gausman, and Chris Bassitt. This is a very strong trio of righties with Manorah and Gausman being recipients of Cy Young votes in 2022 and Bassitt coming off one of the best seasons of his career.
