Chris Archer to start Opening Day for Tampa Bay
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Chris Archer has been announced as the Rays' Opening Day starter.
What It Means:
No surprise here, as it will be Archer's third consecutive start on Opening Day. He will headline a Rays' rotation of Jake Odorizzi, Alex Cobb, Blake Snell and Matt Andriese. Archer will look to bounce back from a disappointing 2016 season that saw him lose 19 games while posting a 4.02 ERA, the lowest since his rookie campaign. He did finish second in the American League with 233 strikeouts.
numberFire's algorithms project Archer for a 12-12 record in 2017 with a 3.52 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and a 26.8 strikeout percentage across 199 1/3 innings pitched.
