Colorado Rockies: A look at the Rockies 2020 schedule

Major League Baseball has released the 2020 schedule for all 30 MLB teams and the Colorado Rockies have an interesting schedule for next season.

Major League Baseball just released the schedule for each of the 30 MLB teams for 2020 and the Rockies have a very interesting schedule.

They will open the season on March 26th and the Rockies will be facing the San Diego Padres at Petco Park in San Diego for the first of a four game set. They will also face the Dodgers in Dodger Stadium for three games before the home opener at Coors Field.

After an off-day, the Rockies will open up against the Padres at Coors Field on Friday, April 2nd for the first of three games before another off-day and two games against the Texas Rangers in the Rockies first interleague games of the season.

The early part of the season is littered with off days as the Rockies have seven off-days in the month of April alone (April 2nd, 6th, 9th, 13th, 20th, 27th, and 30th).
