It's Opening Day in the MLB and the 'Talkin' Dodgers' crew is ready for it all! As baseball fever takes over, we're gearing up for an electrifying season ahead, starting with a deep dive into the latest Dodgers developments and MLB buzz. First up, we celebrate Will Smith's new contract extension, a move that's as team-friendly as it is strategic for the Dodgers. Smith's ability to deliver hits as a catcher isn't just rare; it's a game-changer for any team vying for the top.

The episode takes a serious turn as we tackle the ongoing sports betting scandal involving Shohei Ohtani. After his recent press conference, many questions remain unanswered, with the scandal expected to cast a long shadow over the season.

Looking ahead, we preview the upcoming series against the St. Louis Cardinals, offering our predictions and insights into what this matchup means for the Dodgers' "second opening day." And, of course, it wouldn't be an Opening Day episode without our season predictions. From division winners and wild card contenders to World Series hopefuls, league MVPs, and Cy Young favorites, we're laying it all out.

Baseball is back, and so are we, bringing you all the analysis, predictions, and spirited discussions you've come to expect. Don't miss a moment of this season's action with 'Talkin' Dodgers.'
