The White Sox will be in Detroit to take on the Tigers on Saturday, April 9th.
Dylan Cease is going for the White Sox and Casey Mize will be taking the hill for the Tigers.
Detroit took game one of the series on Friday by a score of 5-4.
Chicago White Sox
After having a strong regular season that did not go so great in the playoffs, the White Sox enter this season once again with lofty expectations.
It is no surprise that they are the favorite to win the American League Central, but that certainly is nothing you can pencil in, especially if the team they are facing now plays up to their full capability.
For as good as the regular season record was for them a year ago, they simply did not perform very well when they went up against the stiffer competition and that reared its ugly head in the postseason.
On Friday, Lucas Giloito went 4 innings, allowed 1 hit, and punched out six batters. It is hard to be critical of that final line, but it would have been nice to see him give them more length than just the 4 innings.
The starter for them on Saturday, Dylan Cease, comes into this year trying to show he can be one of the best young pitchers in the sport.
Cease has shown glimpses of what he can be but has yet to put it all together. If the Southsiders are going to be a true force, I feel has to have a strong season on the mound.
Something to keep note of is Tim Anderson is serving a two-game suspension to start off this campaign.
He missed the first game of the season and will also be unavailable for game number two. Cleary, missing a guy like that is huge, no matter what team it is.
Detroit Tigers
Just a few years ago, the Tigers were one of the worst teams in baseball. That no longer seems like it is going to be the case, at least for now.
Last year, even though they did win the division or go to the playoffs, they did make some progress, which is a very important step for a franchise.
AJ Hinch has proven to be a good manager before and I feel that is a good fit here in Detroit. He, along with the talent on this roster, should make this team fun to follow in 2022.
Some key acquisitions for this team include Javier Baez, Eduardo Rodriguez, and Austin Meadows. All of those guys should be able to impact the team now, which is what any organization wants.
When I look at this team, I see a group that is balanced, which is often a formula for having a successful season.
Eduardo Rodriguez, who is a big addition to their rotation, went 4 innings and allowed 3 earned runs on Friday. His strikeout numbers were not very high, but he was effective for the most part.
Yes, there are some solid teams in this division, but I would not say that it is loaded and it clearly is not as competitive as some other ones.
They may not be the popular pick, but there is no reason for them not to believe they can not only be competitive this season but win the division.

Chicago White Sox vs. Detroit Tigers MLB Prediction:
To me, this is the type of game that will turn out to be close.
I do not see this being the year where the Sox just pound a Tigers team that is devoid of talent. Detroit has some players and I feel they will be relevant.
Chicago might take this one, but I do not feel it will be in a big way.
Give me the Tigers getting the 1.5 runs at home here.
