Season-opening series wrap up on Sunday, as we'll see if early-season trends can hold up with the third-best starting pitcher on the mound for each team. Young star Roman Anthony will look to continue his hot start, while fellow star on the rise Gunnar Henderson wants to break through. The Royals will start 36-year-old innings-eater Seth Lugo, who gave up three home runs in nine spring innings. The Atlanta Braves lineup took him deep twice when they faced him last year, andRiley has beaten up Kansas City pitching in the first two games, posting a 1.196 OPS. He led the Braves with five home runs in spring training, but he's still looking for his first extra-base hit of the regular season. is ready to take a star turn. He had an OPS+ of 140 in 71 games last year and is ready to make up for lost time. Anthony had two WBC homers for Team USA and hit .300 in spring training for Boston when not with the national team. In two games that count, he's gotten four hits. Anthony hasn't had an extra base hit but could break through against Cincinnati’s Rhett Lowder, making his seventh career start and first since 2024 after missing all last year with injury. He's still seeking his first hit after two games in the regular season, striking out five times in eight at-bats. New manager Craig Albernaz was supportive of him after he showed frustration on the field Saturday. Gunnar Henderson has a home run against Twins starter Bailey Ober in his career, and Ober struggled in the spring, with a WHIP of 1.769 and less than a strikeout every two innings. Look for Henderson to break through in game three. : Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
