The Cubs and Dodgers opened the 2025 MLB regular season with the two-game Tokyo Series in Japan last week. Los Angeles swept those two games to begin their World Series title defense. Thursday is the traditional Opening Day when the rest of the league begins their regular seasons. It is Game 1 of 162. The long marathon is here.
The Athletics will play the first game of the post-Oakland era not in Sacramento, but in Seattle. Their first home game at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento is Monday, March 31, against the Cubs. On Opening Day, the A’s will visit a Mariners team that has missed the playoffs the last two years after snapping their two-decade postseason drought in 2022.

Storylines
Mariners: A disappointing offseason followed a disappointing 2024 season for the Mariners. An offense that badly needed an upgrade, particularly a big bat at first base, instead received reinforcement in the form of Jorge Polanco (re-signed) and Donovan Solano (signed). Good players, both of them, but not the needle-movers the Mariners need to take that next step. This team will live and die with its starting pitchers and stud righty George Kirby will open the season on the injured list with an achy shoulder. Their margin of error has already shrunk. That said, Julio Rodríguez is one of the sport’s most electrifying talents, and the Mariners will have a full season of 2024 trade deadline pickup Randy Arozarena. The Mariners won 85 games a year ago and projection systems have them in the same range this year. It won’t take much to jump into the 90-win range, which could be enough to win the AL West this season, let alone nab a wild-card spot.
Athletics: The Oakland era is over, at least for now, and the Sacramento era is underway for the A’s. Sacramento is supposed to be just a three-year layover until the team moves to Las Vegas. The A’s did actually spend some money over the winter, most notably giving Severino the largest contract in franchise history (three years and $67 million) and extending sluggers Brent Rooker and Lawrence Butler. Oakland went 39-37 in their final 76 games last season despite a very thin pitching staff. They added Jeffrey Springs to pair with Severino in the offseason and should be improved in 2025. Improved enough to make the postseason? The various projection systems say no, but there are three wild-card spots per league now, and you don’t have to try too hard to see enough things breaking right that the A’s stay in the race into September.

Fantasy Football Week 5 breakouts: Get Ryan Flournoy, Kendrick Bourne, Mason Taylor, more on Waiver Wire radar
Week 5 of the Fantasy Football season looked a lot different than anything we saw through the first four weeks of the season. On the Fantasy side, we received more data on how each offense plans to utilize its personnel. Our expectations for backfield touches, targets in the pass game, snap shares, and overall usage are often not met, and that's when we have to pivot.In Week 5, several players jumped on the Fantasy Football radar. This could be the start of something special for some of these players, and you'll want to get well ahead of your Week 5 Fantasy Football waiver wire by putting these players on your radar. For more on every player we discuss below, you'll want to make sure to check out Jamey Eisenberg's in-depth waiver wire column on Monday afternoon. With CeeDee Lamb still sidelined with […]

Mourinho acaba con el pleno del Oporto mediante un empate a cero
Mourinho volvía a Do Dragao, un estadio que solo había visto ganar a su equipo esta temporada, pero un clásico es un clásico y pudo pasar de todo. Sin embargo, no ocurrió prácticamente nada y los goles se quedaron para el partido de vuelta, ya en el Estadio Da Luz.La presión en el inicio del encuentro por parte de Samu y Borja Sainz dejó claro que que lo que estaba en juego era mucho más que los tres puntos. En varias ocasiones le costó salir con el balón jugado a Silva, que lo pasó mal durante gran parte del partido. A pesar de la insistencia y los intentos de uno y otro equipo, el peligro no llegó hasta pasado el minuto 30, cuando Sudakov la pegó de tiro libre y Diogo Costa se estiró sin mucha dificultad para blocar el […]
