MLB‘s Opening Week continues tonight at Truist Park, where the Kansas City Royals will begin their season against the Atlanta Braves. Both clubs are coming off disappointing 2025 campaigns that ended without a postseason berth, making this opener carry a little extra weight as neither team is interested in starting another year off on the wrong foot.
Chris Sale takes the hill for Atlanta, looking to anchor a starting rotation hit hard by injuries this spring. Cole Ragans counters for Kansas City, making his third consecutive Opening Day start for the Royals after battling through a shortened 2025 due to a rotator cuff strain.
