After a heartbreaking Game 7 loss in the World Series, and a series of controversies, the Houston Astros can now look forward to the first official milestone of the 2020 season.
The Astros' opening day details for 2020 are now available to the public, so it's time to get psyched.

Houston will begin its quest for the Commissioner's Trophy at home on ESPN on Thursday, March 26 against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (and 2019 American League Most Valuable Player Mike Trout).

The MLB season may have ended less than a month ago, but it is already time to count down to pitchers and catchers.
While pitching has been a strength of the Astros' recent teams, the Opening Day starter is strangely up in the air for 2020. It could be 2019 Cy Young winner Justin Verlander, Zack Greinke, or a mysterious third candidate (sorry, but Gerrit Cole's not walking through that door).
The eyes of the world will probably also take aim at center field during this ballgame, as the Astros face allegations of stealing signs by using a camera positioned there. Unfortunately for one of the greatest teams in the game, those are the breaks these days.
