The Texas Rangers host the Philadelphia Phillies for the season opener on Thursday.
Texas had a 68-94 record overall and a 34-47 record in home games last season. The Rangers pitching staff put up a 4.22 ERA collectively last season while averaging 8.3 strikeouts and 3.6 walks per nine innings.
Nola, the 29-year-old right-hander going into the final year of his contract, will make his sixth - and maybe last - opening day start for the Phillies. It comes days after president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said discussions about a contract extension had broken off, and the pitcher indicated those could wait until after the season.
The Phillies will look different from when deGrom faced them in New York's opener two years ago. Nola didn't oppose him in that game because Philadelphia already had played a series while the Mets' scheduled opening games were wiped out because of COVID-19 issues surrounding the Washington Nationals.
