Pitchers and catchers report in less than two weeks, and our AI models have already crunched the data on what this means for futures bettors. The Braves and Red Sox kick off Grapefruit League workouts on February 10th, while four Cactus League teams (Diamondbacks, White Sox, Giants, Rangers) start the same day. Here's the AI edge for beginners: This is a World Baseball Classic year, meaning key players will split time between their teams and international squads. Our models historically show 12-15% more volatility in April/May betting lines when stars return with reduced spring training reps. The regular season opens March 25th with Yankees at Giants in San Francisco, followed by full Opening Day action March 26th. For futures bettors, the next two weeks represent your last window to lock in pre-spring training prices before performance data starts moving lines.
