San Diego is the home team for the first game in Seoul. And the Padres have my NL Rookie of the Year early value pick in Jackson Merrill, who has won the team's starting center field job. Yu Darvish is on the hill, and he was very inconsistent in 2023 but also not healthy. Despite that, he had a 1.98 ERA in two starts vs. LA -- one of his former teams. Darvish is healthy now. It's new Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow. He can be dominant but also quite wild. Even losing Juan Soto, that San Diego lineup should be pretty solid and we can't play the Dodgers every single game. I wonder how often they will even be underdogs in 2024.
