Opening Day game predictions

When I was a kid -- middle school, early high school, something like that -- I once wrote out the Opening Day schedule, and then predicted every game. I tried to predict the score, the winning and losing pitchers and who got the save, where applicable. I don't remember if I tried to name home runs, but that's what I'm doing this year. Yesterday, I posted my prediction for tonight's game: Yankees 8, Red Sox 3, win to Johnson, loss to Wells, home run to Matsui. Here are the rest (home teams in CAPS).

Monday
TIGERS 9, Royals 1. WP: Bonderman. LP: Lima. HR: Ordonez, Inge, Monroe.

Brewers 4, PIRATES 2. WP: Sheets. LP: Torres. HR: Lee.

Mets 7, REDS 4. WP: Martinez. LP: Wilson. HR: Wright, Dunn, Kearns.
