15. Tigers at White Sox, 4:10 p.m.
Tarik Skubal vs. Garrett Crochet
Is the Skubal we saw in the second half last year — the one who might have been one of the best pitchers in baseball — the real deal? If he is, this Tigers team may have some real plucky potential in this division. The White Sox? Well, maybe not so much. But at least Crochet — moving to a starting role after throwing 73 Major League relief innings since 2020 — will always be able to say he was an Opening Day starter.
MLB.com rated this as the 15th best Opening Day pitching match-up, haha.
