Giants at Padres (4:10 p.m.): In what may be one of the most anticipated Opening Day games in Padres history, Manny Machado, the newest San Diego denizen, will take the field in front of his new home fans to begin the year. The Padres’ $300 million man has never hit an Opening Day home run. He’ll be in the infield behind Eric Lauer, who will be the second-youngest Opening Day starting pitcher in franchise history at 23 years, 298 days old. The Padres will host the Giants, who will have ace Madison Bumgarner on the mound for his fifth career Opening Day start, tying Larry Jansen for third-most for the franchise in the Modern Era. It’ll be the final Opening Day for manager Bruce Bochy, who fittingly managed the Padres before the Giants and will be retiring after the season.
