April 10, 2017
For the first time in 108 years, Wrigley Field is getting a new championship banner. The Cubs will play their home opener against the Dodgers on Monday night, and a special pregame ceremony will see the club's 2016 World Series Championship be immortalized at the Friendly Confines. It comes as no surprise, then, that the game will serve as the most expensive MLB game this week. The Indians, Braves, and Red Sox will also host top-priced matchups this week.
Below is a complete price breakdown of this week's top games, per TicketIQ:
