The Cleveland Indians will play the Houston Astros on Monday for the MLB 2015 Opening Day, and the Indians are being tipped by some as potential World Series contenders for this year.

However, one thing's for sure; both teams will be desperate to get things off to a winning start today. The game starts at 7 p.m. ET from Minute Maid Park, and can be watched on TV on the ESPN network or online through live stream (details below).
These are certainly considered two up and coming teams in the MLB, with Sports Illustrated featuring both teams on its cover over the past year. The publication also touted both as future World Series picks, although the Indians were listed for 2015, where as the Astros were touted for a few years further down the line in 2017
The MLB 2015 opening season features numerous highlights this year. Many will be looking to Masahiro Tanaka following months of rumors and doubts surrounding his right elbow. The injury landed him on the disabled list last season, and many will want to see how his partially torn ulnar collateral ligament holds up as the season gets going today.

Another big highlight for opening day will be this contest between the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The pair will meet each other 19 times this season, including a potential vital three game set, which will close out the season. Matt Kemp in particular will be looking at this game with relish, and even though he has a lot of memories at Chavez Ravine, his time there ended on a bad note, and he will be looking to gain revenge in the only way he knows how - by winning and being successful where he is now.
Another big story for opening day 2015 will be veteran Torii Hunter leading his new team, the Minnesota Twins, against his old team, the Detroit Tigers. He has said ahead of the game: "I'm fired up to face anybody, whether I face the Angels, which I had a great time, or I face the Tigers, which I had a great time with. I can tell you this: Any team I might play, they know I'm coming to play," according to TwinCities.com.
