New York Yankees vs. San Francisco Giants Probable Pitchers

  • New York Yankees: Cam Schlittler
  • San Francisco Giants: Robbie Ray
  • Time: 4:35 PM ET

Cam Schlittler’s 2.96 ERA didn’t tell the full story, as it masked an xERA of 4.11. He’ll take on Robbie Ray, who held opposing hitters to a .297 wOBA at home in 2025.

Athletics vs. Toronto Blue Jays Probable Pitchers

  • Athletics: Luis Severino
  • Toronto Blue Jays: Kevin Gausman
  • Time: 7:07 PM ET

Luis Severino will look to bounce back from a disappointing 2025, which saw him post his lowest K/9 of his career at 6.8. He’ll oppose Kevin Gausman, who logged a new career-high in innings pitched with 193.

Colorado Rockies vs. Miami Marlins Probable Pitchers

  • Colorado Rockies: Kyle Freeland
  • Miami Marlins: Sandy Alcantara
  • Time: 7:10 PM ET

Of the 22 home runs Kyle Freeland allowed on the season, 15 of them came on the road, despite pitching at Coors Field for half his games. He’ll oppose Sandy Alcantara, who hasn’t regained his 2022 form when he was awarded the Cy Young.

Kansas City Royals vs. Atlanta Braves Probable Pitchers

  • Kansas City Royals: Cole Ragans
  • Atlanta Braves: Chris Sale
  • Time: 7:15 PM ET

Cole Ragans ran into a lot of bad luck in 2025, as his 4.67 ERA was nowhere near his xERA of 2.67. Meanwhile, Chris Sale nearly matched his ERA and xERA at 2.58 and 2.85.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Houston Astros Probable Pitchers

  • Los Angeles Angels: Yusei Kikuchi
  • Houston Astros: Mike Burrows
  • Time: 8:15 PM ET

Yusei Kikuchi posted some poor numbers on the road last season sporting a 5.04 ERA with a .354 wOBA and a 4.48 FIP. He’ll take on Mike Burrows, who was acquired in a three-team trade involving the Pirates and Rays.

Detroit Tigers vs. San Diego Padres Probable Pitchers

  • Detroit Tigers: Framber Valdez
  • San Diego Padres: Michael King
  • Time: 9:40 PM ET

Framber Valdez was one of the top free agents on the market this offseason and will look to keep the Tigers infield busy with his 59% ground ball rate from 2025. Michael King brings high strikeout upside to the mound, logging at least a 9.3 K/9 in four straight seasons.

Cleveland Guardians vs. Seattle Mariners Probable Pitchers

  • Cleveland Guardians: Gavin Williams
  • Seattle Mariners: George Kirby
  • Time: 9:45 PM ET

Williams was lucky during 2025, as his 3.05 ERA doesn’t match the xERA of 4.29. He’ll take on George Kirby, who was fantastic at home with a 3.38 ERA and a 3.12 FIP.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Probable Pitchers

  • Arizona Diamondbacks: Ryne Nelson
  • Los Angeles Dodgers: Emmet Sheehan
  • Time: 10:10 PM ET

Nelson was quietly a solid starter for Arizona last season, posting a 3.39 ERA with a 3.93 xERA. He’ll face Sheehan, who has flashed tremendous strikeout upside in his time in the majors with a 10.3 K/9.
