0:00.0	And away we go, episode 539 of the Algoldi podcast, it is Thursday, March 30, 2023, it is
0:27.5	opening day, 2023, opening day of the 2023 Major League Baseball regular season,
0:35.5	nationals, home to the Atlanta Braves Thursday afternoon at 105 Orioles at the Boston Red
0:41.1	Sox Thursday afternoon at 210, a new era of a MOB has arrived with pitch clocks and the
0:47.9	limiting of infield ships. If you can't be optimistic on opening day, what exactly can
0:53.7	you be optimistic? Hello to welcome to this Thursday installment of the Algoldi podcast,
0:58.7	the Nats over underwind total per vet MGM is a mere 59 and a half. I am taking the under.
1:08.0	The Nats last regular season when a Major League worst 55 and 107 with a Major League worst

1:56.0	basement Louise Garcia. It is awful that starting pitcher Kate Cavali is at for the year due to
2:02.8	Tommy John's surgery, but Gore Gray Abrams Ruiz Garcia, those are guys on whom you can focus.
2:11.0	The Nats of course are a rebuilding team. This season almost certainly won't be pretty,
2:15.0	but hopefully some pieces are in place. And the Nats farm system is better too. Emily Pipeline
2:21.2	last week ranked and adds is having the number 10 farm system in baseball, although a lot of that
2:27.9	is due to the mega trade of outfielder Juan Soto and first baseman Josh Bell last August.
2:33.6	As for the Orioles, so their over underwind total per bet MGM is a disturbing 77 and a half.
