The Detroit Tigers open the season against Central Division rivals the Chicago White Sox. The Tigers went 78-84 last season while the White Sox were 61-101 and as one of four teams to lose 100 games. The Tigers send Tarik Skubal to the mound to face Garrett Crochet. Skubal pitched well last season, allowing 28 runs in 80.1 innings pitched while striking out 102 batters. They did not do a lot in the off-season and are hoping their young players can step up. White Sox starter Garrett Crochet has battled injuries the past two seasons, missing all of 2022 and pitching only 12.2 innings last season. The Tigers have a lineup with great potential and are facing a pitcher with more questions than answers. The Sox still have some pop in their lineup but I think they will struggle against Skubal.
