4 years agoSeattle Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales is making his third consecutive opening day start Thursday, and he'll be facing the San Francisco Giants. It is expected that the Giants will run out a heavily right-handed lineup Thursday. In 2020, the Giants posted an .838 OPS against lefty starters. Despite this, the Giants are a good matchup for Gonzales, as he in fact posted opposite platoon splits in 2020 and was stronger against right-handed bats. He will look to start off strong against right-hander Kevin Gausman.--Doug Goldring - RotoBaller
