Baseball Preview

I know this is way late but I wanted to get it in. I will make it more detailed over the next week or so. As for my picks nothing in the first two weeks impacts my preview, which I actually sketched out in late march. And as the Jays painfully showed after a 24-12 start last year, your start really does not mean much in the end.
