The Los Angeles Dodgers are on the fast track, opening the season at 12-4. The offensive numbers by Kemp and Ethier have been impressive, but hold on. The Dodgers have played the easiest schedule by far in baseball. They have already played the Padres seven times, Pittsburgh three times, and Houston three times. Those three teams combined to average 96 losses a year ago, so the Dodgers are significantly over-valued right now. The Braves opened the season at 0-4, but have since come out blazing as they are 10-2 since and against a tougher schedule. The Braves stand at 20-8 behind Jurrjens with a total posted from 7 to 8.5 in his last two in this spot. It has been a different story for the Dodgers when facing a team with a winning percentage above .600 where they are 3-7 in their last 10. Play on Atlanta.
