Welcome to MLB opening day 2018! There’s a full day of action ahead of us, which means you most likely have a full day ahead of tinkering with your fantasy lineup, drinking something cold and maybe even eating a hot dog too. It’s opening day, that’s what you do.

Around here, opening day is also when we drop our predictions for the year ahead. Who’s going to win it all? Who will be MVP? Who will have a breakout season? Who will disappoint? First no-hitter? First manager fired? Yep, we’ve got all that. Heck, we’re even guessing how many homers Shohei Ohtani will hit in his rookie season.

[Still not too late to join a Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league]

On our panel this year: Yahoo Sports MLB experts Jeff Passan and Tim Brown, plus the Big League Stew crew: Chris Cwik, Mike Oz, Liz Roscher and Mark Townsend. Baseball predictions aren’t easy, but we’re pretty sure we got it right this year. If not, we’ll depend on you to remind us come October.
