The day all baseball fans were waiting for is finally here. The 2021 Major League Baseball season is finally upon us and you know what that means: All 30 teams will be in action featuring their aces on the mound.

This year's Opening Day comes with the hope of having a normal season after whatever the hell the 2020 campaign was. That's why a lot of people are likely to call in sick to just sit down and enjoy a full day of the best baseball in the world.

Anything and everything can happen on Opening Day. Players are either way too fresh or way too rusty and there's always a surprise waiting to happen. That's why Will Leitch of MLB.com took the liberty of ranking every single one of the projected starters for today, so we have a better look at the surprises that could go down this afternoon.
