Tigers Analysis: Tarik Skubal will be looking to start off right
The Tigers had a difficult 2023, but they are on the right track given that they dropped 96 games in 2022. They start with Tarik Skubal, a standout performer from the previous year who struck out 102 hitters while surrendering only 28 runs in 80.1 innings thrown. Additionally, opponents struggle to drive in runs when facing Skubal, who has an expected opponent batting average of .197, a projected opponent slugging percentage of .290, and an expected opponent ERA of 2.30. For these reasons, the Tigers believe that Skubal is an Ace who will help them reclaim their place in the American League. Aside from signing journeyman infielder Gio Urshela, the Tigers had a quiet summer. It is anticipated that the younger players would boost an offense that managed just 4.08 runs per game.
White Sox Analysis: Erick Fredde is day-to-day
In their 9–20 Spring Training record, the Chicago White Sox scored 135 runs while giving up 169. The White Sox may be lacking confidence heading into this season, even if their springtime performance as the worst team in the Cactus League is not a good predictor of regular season success. Chicago finished 4th in the AL Central with a 61-101 record the previous season. The White Sox will attempt to begin the rebuilding process this season after moving a few of their key players. The White Sox ranked 29th in the MLB in runs scored, and they actually scored 20 fewer than the Tigers did the previous season.
