Marco Gonzales confirmed for Mariners on Opening Day
Seattle Mariners pitcher Marco Gonzales will start on Opening Day, manager Scott Servais confirmed Wednesday.
What It Means:
Gonzales was initially announced as the Mariners' Opening Day starter back in March, so no surprises here. The 28-year-old left-hander signed a four-year, $30 million contract extension with Seattle in early February after posting a 16-13 record, 3.99 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 147 strikeouts with 56 walks over 203 innings (34 starts) last season. Gonzales will take on the Astros in Houston on July 24. The Mariners previously announced that they plan to use a six-man rotation at the beginning of the season.
numberFire's models project Gonzales for a 4.44 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with 50 strikeouts and 17 walks over 64 2/3 innings this season.
