KEY GAME INFORMATION
DETROIT: DETROIT (AP) - When Justin Verlander takes the mound for Detroit on opening day, maybe then the Tigers will be able to enjoy a much-needed sense of normalcy.
As an offseason of drama gave way to spring training injuries, it was easy to forget the Tigers still have one of the most talented rosters in baseball. Sure, there have been some early problems for new manager Brad Ausmus to address, Detroit still figures to be the favorite to win its fourth consecutive AL Central title.
''We have a new look this year,'' outfielder Torii Hunter said. ''Little bit more speed and we'll miss the big man, but we'll score some runs.''
The ''big man'' is Prince Fielder, whom the Tigers traded to Texas in a blockbuster deal that brought second baseman Ian Kinsler to Detroit. That move gave the Tigers more financial flexibility, although they weren't all that aggressive in pursuing free agents. Detroit did sign Joe Nathan to replace departed closer Joaquin Benoit.
The Tigers also traded right-hander Doug Fister to Washington.
Lately, the focus has been on right-hander Max Scherzer, who enters his final season before free agency after winning the Cy Young Award in 2013. Negotiations with the Tigers on a long-term deal have stalled.
''They respect where I'm at. I respect where they're at, and we'll revisit this after the season,'' Scherzer said. ''I still want to be in Detroit. I love this clubhouse and everything about it. There's been a history of this team signing free agents so hopefully I'll be a part of that history as well.''
But right now Scherzer's future is uncertain, and with Hunter and Victor Martinez in the final season of their contracts, it's hard to say what Detroit's 2015 roster will look like.
So the Tigers may never have a better chance to win a World Series with this group than right now.
CHI WHITE SOX: CHICAGO (AP) - From rock bottom last season to contention this year? The Chicago White Sox see no reason why it can't happen.
They're ready to put last season's 99-loss wreck behind them and make a jump at least back to respectability, if not a run at the AL Central title.
They see a team with solid pitching, a new slugger in Jose Abreu and renewed vigor. Now, all they have to do is back it up.
''You have to pitch, you have to hit, you have to score,'' said manager Robin Ventura, entering his third season. ''You have to play defense. You have to do all of them in our division. Detroit has won it the last few years. They have a combination of everything. Unless you do that, you're not going to be close. We proved that last year.''
They had the pitching part down last season. The rest? Well, that's where things got dicey.
PREVIEW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PA SPORTSTICKER AL PREVIEW (DETROIT-CHI WHITE SOX) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Tigers-White Sox Preview* ==========================

Detroit (72-60) at Chicago (60-73), 1:10 p.m. EDT

There will be a distinct difference in the scheduled games in Saturday's day-night doubleheader between the Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox.

That's because star pitchers Max Scherzer and Chris Sale will meet in the opener while the second game features starters making their big league debuts who have spent part of 2014 at Double-A.

This doubleheader was created after a postponement June 10 in the Tigers' most recent visit to U.S. Cellular Field, and rain is also forecast for Saturday.

A marquee duel is on tap in the afternoon. Scherzer (15-4, 3.13 ERA) can become the AL's first 16-game winner while Sale (10-3, 2.03) owns the league's best ERA.

"Two of the best pitchers in the league," Detroit manager Brad Ausmus told MLB's official website. "If it does rain, it's a possibility with those guys pitching, you might be able to get the game in under an hour."

Scherzer has posted a 0.96 ERA in winning his first four 2014 starts against Chicago. He struck out eight in a three-hitter in a 4-0 road victory June 12 in which Sale struck out 10 and gave up one run in seven innings.

Scherzer can become the first pitcher to improve to 5-0 against the White Sox (60-74) in a single season since Cleveland's Jim Kern in 1976. Kansas City's Paul Splittorff was the last to win his first five starts over Chicago in a season in 1973.

Jose Abreu, Adam Dunn, Alexei Ramirez and Dayan Viciedo have combined to go 10 for 49 with 15 strikeouts this year against Scherzer.

Sale is 0-2 with a 2.53 ERA in five starts in August as he tries to avoid going winless in a month as a starter for the second time in his career. He went 0-5 with a 3.19 ERA in six June outings last year.

The left-hander's loss to Scherzer this June marked his lone 2014 outing versus the Tigers (73-60). He is 3-5 with a 2.94 ERA in nine starts against them.

Victor Martinez has enjoyed the most success of any hitter with at least 15 at-bats against Sale, going 13 for 25 including a homer this year. Miguel Cabrera is 6 for 24 versus Sale.

Game 2 pits Detroit's Kyle Ryan against Chris Bassitt.

Ryan hails from the same place as Sale, Florida's Polk County, and he expects to have plenty of family at the game. The left-hander began at Double-A this year before going 3-0 with a 1.64 ERA in five starts for Triple-A Toledo.

Chicago fans may have hoped the club would call up heralded prospect Carlos Rodon, but they'll instead see Bassitt. The right-hander most recently pitched at Double-A Birmingham, where he was 3-1 with a 1.56 ERA in six starts.

"It's an opportunity for him," manager Robin Ventura said. "He's had more time and seasoning down there that I think this is just the right time to do it for him, and he's earned it."

Detroit opened this four-game series with Friday's 7-1 victory highlighted by four unearned runs as a result of two errors by Abreu.

"They gave us the advantage of a couple extra outs, and we took advantage of it," said Ausmus, whose club pulled within one-half game of first-place Kansas City in the Central.

Adam Eaton had three hits and has 11 in his last 18 at-bats against the Tigers.
