Show Notes
On Opening Day, host Lindsay Crosby identifies the most important Braves for 2026 by predicting team awards and key roles. He names Ronald Acuña Jr. as the clear MVP favorite if healthy, with Matt Olson and Austin Riley as alternatives, and discusses a high-upside scenario for Michael Harris II. Crosby tabs Chris Sale as the internal Cy Young favorite, citing his dominant stretch after early mechanical fixes, and notes Grant Holmes as the main potential challenger if his fastball improvements stick. He picks Harris as the offensive X-factor, Eli White as a breakout candidate due to his role versus lefties and encouraging batted-ball data, and Robert Suarez as top reliever. He then previews the Royals: an offense led by Bobby Witt Jr., key bats like Garcia, Pasquantino, and Perez, a rotation headed by Cole Ragans, and lingering outfield questions, while expecting Atlanta to take the series.
