The Braves will finish Spring Coaching in Arizona and begin their season on the West Coast. I’m truthfully glad they get that the journey to Southern California out of the way in which early this 12 months. And a minimum of they are going to be on Pacific Time (or the equal Mountain Commonplace Time, Arizona is completely different) for 3 days prior.
What number of video games will the Braves win in Southern California to begin the 12 months? The Braves have been swept in Los Angeles three of the final 5 journeys, whereas they’ve overwhelmed San Diego twelve of the final fifteen common season video games. It’s a .467 successful proportion for the final eight years there. So historical past would counsel they get 3 of the 7 video games there.
One other benefit of beginning the season in Southern California is that there is no such thing as a obligatory off-day after Opening Day this 12 months. You don’t want that rainout buffer in Southern California. You’d want rain on the market in April for that.
