Despite losing the opener last night to the Cubbies (Miguel Amaya!), whose fans fill half the stadium in Arizona where they have spring training, I believe the Snakes might be the second-best team in all of baseball. Liked the Josh Naylor addition and I picked Corbin Carroll for NL MVP (value wise). Merrill Kelly starts on the hill tonight and is usually excellent in his home park. No key Cubs have great splits off him. Don't think much of Chicago starting pitcher Jameson Taillon, who was significantly worse away in 2024 and not good this spring.
