The Rockies announced Gray as their Opening Day starter.
Gray was dealing with a toe issue recently but appears to be over that. He'll line up to start the road contest against the Brewers in hitter-friendly Miller Park. Gray surprisingly posted a 4.91 road ERA in 2016 compared to a 4.30 ERA during his home starts in hitters' haven Coors Field, but the relatively small sample size is likely to blame for those splits. He is the rare Rockies pitcher with good enough stuff to be useful in the bulk of his starts this season, regardless of venue.
