The Rockies and Marlins, two expansion additions in 1993, are set to play their season openers in South Florida. The Rockies, who became the first team in modern MLB history to reach 50 losses before gaining 10 wins, narrowly avoided the MLB modern-day record low of 41 wins set by the 2024 White Sox. However, their run differential of minus-424 was the lowest in modern history. Manager Bud Black was replaced after a poor season, with Warren Schaeffer taking over. The team's Over/Under win total is 54.5, and it would take 20 additional wins to avoid the 100-loss mark. The longest-tenured Rockies player is lefty and Denver native Kyle Freeland, who will make his franchise-record fifth Opening Day start.
