There are many hills to die on in sports, but one of my personal favorites is that Major League Baseball's Opening Day should be a national holiday. Nothing is worse than being stuck at work and trying to figure out how to watch the game while pretending to do your daily tasks. Savor the anticipation and use a sick day if needed, because there's far too much baseball for you to care about much else on Thursday. Here are my picks for the best day of the year.

Before you make any Opening Day bets, you need to see who SportsLine expert Angelo Magliocca is backing. Magliocca, also known as Amags, is a rising MLB capper who uses his deep knowledge of baseball to find value on player props, sides and totals. Over the 2022 and 2023 MLB seasons, Amags went 549-450 (plus 63.4 units) on straight plays and parlays while winning an additional 34.6 units on ladder plays before joining SportsLine. He produced those results, in part, by leveraging the strikeout prop market. Amags appears regularly on The Early Edge, SportsLine's popular daily betting show. He's 115-87-1 (+1196.75) in his last 203 official MLB picks on SportsLine!
