Result: Win
This is an 8* ASSASSIN on the Colorado Rockies.
Zack Greinke will make his first start for his new team after leaving the Dodgers and we're expecting a bit of a letdown on opening night. Greinke threw 5.2 scoreless innings on Saturday and posted a 1.88 ERA in 14.1 frames this spring. Greinke was signed for $208 million over six years, so to say expectations are high would be a bit of an understatement. His new home park is not nearly as pitcher-friendly as Dodger Stadium, but he should once again be in contention for the Cy Young once it's all said and done. The visitors counter with Jorge De La Rosa, which marks the second time in three years that he'll draw this assignment. De La Rosa had one of his more prolific strikeout seasons in recent memory last year, fanning 134 batters over 149.0 innings. De La Rosa didn't have a spectacular spring training, but note that he was particularly effective in this spot in 2015, going 6-5 with a 3.26 ERA on the road and 4-0 with a 4.23 ERA in all day games. We think the immense pressure on Greinke to perform right out of the gates leads to an "off night," while De La Rosa and the ROCKIES calmly go about their business.
