Jose Berrios takes the mound first this Friday afternoon to battle the dangerous Pittsburgh Pirates lineup.
Berrios was an absolute workhorse last season, posting a solid 9-5 record and a 4.17 ERA for Toronto.
The starting rotation is building unstoppable momentum together
Fans are absolutely ecstatic watching these premium arms round into elite form right now.
Getting a chance to see our biggest stars dominate early brings a massive wave of confidence to the city.
Max Scherzer gets the ball on Saturday to face the Philadelphia Phillies in a fierce road matchup.
"Mad Max" delivered a 5-5 record and a 5.19 ERA during his slightly disrupted 2025 season.
His legendary intensity and World Series pedigree are exactly what this vibrant clubhouse needs to succeed.
Sunday brings a split-squad format that perfectly highlights the incredible pitching depth of this entire organization.
Kevin Gausman will anchor the home game in Dunedin against the Detroit Tigers with his devastating splitter.
Gausman delivered a brilliant 3.59 ERA and racked up 189 strikeouts to completely dominate hitters last year.
Watching him carve up opposing batters is always a pure joy for any true baseball purist.
Meanwhile, Cody Ponce (Drafted 2nd Round, 2015 by Milwaukee Brewers) takes the important road start in Baltimore.
Ponce is an incredible sleeper candidate who posted a magical 17-1 record and a 1.89 ERA overseas last season.
Earning a spot on this massive roster requires that exact type of undeniable raw pitching dominance.
Every single pitch thrown this weekend is a vital stepping stone toward an unforgettable championship run.
The incredible sheer depth we have assembled right now is going to carry us all the way.
