The Rockies and Rays won't make their debut until Friday, and they'll do so at George M. Steinbrenner Field after the Rays' home was destroyed by Hurricane Milton.
For the Rockies, the starter will once again be Kyle Freeland, the player the Rockies have held the longest. Despite his 5.24 ERA in 2024, he started 200 games in his career, earning a W in 60 of them. He performed quite well in spring training, recording 11 strikeouts in 9.2 innings.
However, the Rockies were the second-worst visiting team in MLB, finishing with a 24-57 record, justifying the almost -200 odds on a Rays win in Tampa. The Rays will start with the potential advantage of playing 19 of their first 22 games at George M. Steinbrenner Field. With a capacity of 11,000, Cash said he thought it would be a fun, exciting, and good challenge to play in that stadium.
It was previously known that Pepiot would be the Rays' Opening Day starter. Pepiot had his first season as a regular starter in 2024, where he posted a 1.15 WHIP and struck out 142 in over 130 innings pitched.
