Chicago White Sox vs Detroit Tigers Opening Day: Live Stream, Start Time, TV Info and More
The Chicago White Sox will host the Detroit Tigers as part of MLB Opening Day. Find out how to catch each pitch live via an online stream.
The Chicago White Sox were active sellers this offseason, trading both Chris Sale and Adam Eaton for major hauls of prospect talent. The White Sox are in a clear rebuilding situation but they still have plenty of talent on the major league roster worth paying attention to.
The young White Sox will open the 2017 season against their division rivals, the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers have a veteran squad who will try to compete for an American League Central crown in 2017. The Cleveland Indians and Kansas City Royals are the favorites in the Central but the Tigers will certainly be in the mix.
The White Sox have already released their Opening Day lineup and it is an interesting mix of young and veteran talent. Speedy prospect Jacob May tore it up in Spring Training and won the starting center field job for the Chicago White Sox. Catcher Omar Narvaez is another interesting young player who is getting a relatively surprising Opening Day start.
The White Sox will send ace pitcher Jose Quintana to the mound. Quintana has been the subject of many trade rumors over the past few months, but he is still a member of the White Sox. Quintana will be making his first Opening Day start for the White Sox as he is the clear ace of a less than stellar South Side staff.
Justin Verlander will start the game for the Tigers. Verlander was obviously once one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball and got back to his dominant ways with the Tigers last season. Verlander could easily have his way with this young White Sox lineup.
