There are question marks surrounding Kansas City's bullpen for the new season. That's a concern for the opener with Cole Ragans (4.67 ERA in 2025) on the mound. The offense was 26th in runs, 22nd in on-base percentage, 17th in steals, and 26th in homers. Atlanta is expected to bounce back from a disappointing 2025. Ronald Acuna Jr. has looked great this spring, and the offense last year was 13th in the majors in runs scored and 12th in on-base percentage. Lefty Chris Sale (2.58 ERA in 2025) had a strong spring training (2.75 ERA), so back home field. Play Atlanta.
