Analysis
This is a play on the CHICAGO WHITE SOX for our MLB Opening Day Sweet Spot. It has been a while since Detroit has been in the public spotlight but that is the case before the 2024 season as the Tigers are a popular pick to win the American League Central over the favored Twins. The lines are showing this on Opening Day as they are a big favorite in Chicago which is picked to finish last in the division and we are fading the public here. Tarik Skubal is +900 to win the American League Cy Young which is tied for the fifth lowest odds with a lot of this based on last season. In 15 starts, he allowed two runs or less 11 times but he had a very easy opposing schedule and while the White Sox are not expected to do much, it is due to having no pitching as their lineup from 1-6 is legit. Garrett Crochet gets the start for Chicago which shows how limited this rotation is but he has potential. Some scouts had Crochet as the most dominant pitcher in the Cactus League over his 12.2 innings, during which he recorded 14 strikeouts and one walk while his fastball topped out at 100 mph. The Tigers lineup is not going to scare anyone at least early on as it is loaded with young talent but six of the nine spots are not set in stone. 10* (924) Chicago White Sox
