| | | 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 TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
Detroit (57-44) at Los Angeles (62-41), 3:35 p.m. EDT
The Los Angeles Angels finally have consecutive victories on their 10-game homestand, though closing out the stay with another one could be difficult against one of the AL's win leaders.
As Los Angeles looks to win this four-game set Sunday, Detroit's Rick Porcello will try become the league's first 13-game winner while helping the Tigers avoid their ninth loss in 10 games in Anaheim.
Although they have the majors' second-best home record at 37-19, the Angels (62-41) dropped four of seven to begin this homestand before regrouping to take the last two versus the AL Central leaders.
Five Los Angeles pitchers held the Tigers to six hits in Friday's 2-1 victory before Matt Shoemaker and two relievers limited them to a month-low four in Saturday's 4-0 win.
Detroit (57-44), however, might not need much more scoring to bounce back.
Porcello (12-5, 3.42 ERA) has gone 4-1 with a 2.27 ERA in his last six outings. He's among 10 pitchers tied for the major league lead in wins, but St. Louis' Adam Wainwright is the only other one of that group scheduled to start Sunday.
Porcello also leads the AL in road wins with eight after going 3-0 with a 1.24 ERA in his last four starts away from home. The right-hander did not factor in Tuesday's 5-4 loss at Arizona despite surrendering three runs over seven innings.
His two career starts at Angel Stadium haven't gone nearly as well. He allowed six runs over 4 1-3 innings in a 6-5 loss in April 2010 before giving up a career-worst nine earned runs while recording only two outs in a 10-0 defeat in April 2013.
All-Star Mike Trout hit a grand slam off Porcello in that game and is 4 for 12 lifetime against him.
"I think I'm a different pitcher now than when they got to me," Porcello told MLB's official website. "Nine runs in one inning, it's one of those days where you just kind of don't even remember that."
Porcello, 4-4 with a 7.39 ERA in 10 career meetings, snapped a three-start losing streak to the Angels on April 20 when he held them to one run over seven innings in a 2-1 win.
Josh Hamilton has given Porcello trouble with six hits, including two home runs, in 13 at-bats. The outfielder is expected to return after missing most of the last two games because of a sore left knee.
Los Angeles' Hector Santiago (2-7, 4.02) hasn't given up a run in two games since the All-Star break, throwing 2 2-3 innings of relief before pitching five innings of two-hit ball in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Baltimore.
After going 0-6 with a 5.19 ERA in his first seven starts, getting demoted to the bullpen and eventually the minors, the left-hander has a 3.45 ERA in six starts since being recalled June 10.
"He's given us a big boost since coming back into the rotation," manager Mike Scioscia said.
Santiago is 0-3 despite a 2.28 ERA in four career starts versus Detroit. In his only start against the Tigers in 2014, he held them to two hits and two unearned runs while fanning seven over 5 2-3 innings in a 2-1 road loss.
He's limited Austin Jackson, Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez to a combined 5 for 34 (.147). Jackson has had at least two hits in 12 of his last 15 games, hitting .406 over that span.
Alex Avila is 0 for 8 against Santiago and enters in a 1-for-24 slump.
