Opening Day Matchups

(Re-posted with correct match-ups.  Accidentally used the exhibition schedule yesterday!)

Lineups are coming in and there are a few more exhibitions to run, but opening day doesn't start until Sunday night, February 15th.  A bad pre-season is meaningless, a good pre-season is not only meaningless, but may instill unwarranted complacency in an owner.

Here are some select pre-season records from last year and the teams corresponding win totals in the regular season:

Steve C.  17-7; 80-82

Brad P... 15-8; 82-80
Joe T.... 12-6; 79-83

Lou P.... 10-13; 104-58
Sean S... 6-12; 98-64

Pre-season is a crap shoot.  In the meantime, here are the probably opening day matchups.  Stats are ATB Career values.
