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.
LA ANGELS: ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton didn't exactly fit in right away with the Los Angeles Angels after they accepted owner Arte Moreno's lavish free-agent contracts.
Now that both sluggers feel much more comfortable and confident in Orange County, they know it's time the Angels started getting more wins for their money.
The Angels' four-year absence from the playoffs is embarrassing for an organization with a sky-high payroll and equally lofty expectations, but they seem capable of ending the drought if the club's various pieces finally add up properly.
Pujols and Hamilton are full of spring optimism after those disappointing 2013 efforts, while superstar Mike Trout is back for the third full major league campaign in his already remarkable career.

*Tigers-Angels Preview* =======================

By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer

Detroit (56-42) at Los Angeles (60-40), 10:05 p.m. EDT

In the last month, Max Scherzer has often looked like the Cy Young Award-winning pitcher he's become.

Over the past seven weeks, Garrett Richards has been even better for the Los Angeles Angels.

Both right-handers will try for a 12th victory Thursday night when the AL Central-leading Tigers look to avoid a seventh consecutive loss in Anaheim.

Though Scherzer (11-3, 3.34 ERA) is 3-0 with a 1.87 ERA in his last five starts, Richards (11-2, 2.47) is 7-0 with a 1.25 ERA in his last nine.

"Richards has been throwing the ball really well this year, so I have to bring my 'A' game," Scherzer told MLB's official website. "There's no other way around it."

Richards will oppose a staff ace for the second straight start after allowing one run and three hits in eight innings to outlast Seattle's Felix Hernandez in a 3-2, 12-inning loss Saturday.

"I treat it like it's just another game," said Richards, who is 4-0 with a 1.90 ERA in his last six home starts. "I try to take the name and player out of the equation."

Richards has looked dominant while allowing five hits over 14 scoreless innings to win his previous two starts against the Tigers (56-42) over the past two seasons.

Scherzer, 2-0 with a 1.23 ERA in his last three road starts, is 3-1 with a 2.16 ERA in five overall against the Angels (60-40).

The only one at Anaheim came in 2012, when he gave up two runs and struck out nine in eight innings while not factoring in the decision of a 3-2 defeat. Scherzer yielded a solo homer and two other hits while striking out nine in seven innings of a 5-2 win over Los Angeles on April 19.

Scherzer appears healthy enough to take the mound after he overcame neck spasms to battle through 5 2-3 innings in Detroit's 5-2 loss to Cleveland on Saturday.

"There's no excuses on ailments," said Scherzer, who gave up a pair of solo homers and walked four. "I go out there and I give you everything I've got."

He will try to help the Tigers snap a six-game skid in Anaheim during which they've been outscored 34-9.

Miguel Cabrera went 1 for 11 while Detroit took two of three at home from the Angels in April, but has hit .429 since the All-Star break. Cabrera belted a three-run homer in Wednesday's 11-5 win at Arizona.

Teammate Austin Jackson is batting .431 with eight doubles and seven RBIs in his last 12 games, but is 1 for 10 against Richards.

Angels star Mike Trout is 3 for 13 with a double, home run and eight strikeouts against Scherzer.

Trout is hitting .356 with four homers, five doubles and 12 RBIs over his last 10 games, and was on base three times Wednesday as Los Angeles avoided being swept by Baltimore with a 3-2 victory - its major league-leading 31st come-from-behind win.

Detroit bolstered the back end of a bullpen that ranks 26th in the majors with a 4.37 ERA by acquiring Joakim Soria from Texas for a pair of prospects Wednesday. The right-hander converted 17 of 19 save chances and had a 2.70 ERA in 35 games for the Rangers.

Soria joins current Tigers closer Joe Nathan, whom he replaced in Texas this season.

"I just want to help them win the World Series," Soria said. "That's what it's all about, and I hope I can help out as much as I can."
