03/26/2026 4:10pm EDT Detroit Tigers at San Diego Padres

Based on projected starters/no rainouts, the Tigers will not face a right handed starting pitcher in the first 6 games.

Rainouts in SD are unlikely; AZ has a dome.

PER A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET- 

On Thursday, March 26, 2026, Jason is scheduled to call the prime-time matchup between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Dodgers at 8:00 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. Because of this national assignment, Dan Dickerson is expected to handle the play-by-play for the Tigers' season opener against the San Diego Padres earlier that afternoon. 

That's OK by me.

All three SD projected starting pitchers are right handed.

i meant left handed...trying to figure out how much time Baez and Vierling will get in the first set of games.

Game is on MLB Network so I will be able to watch. 

Maybe already mentioned this spring, but price of MLB At Bat has doubled. Those gripping oppo taco commercials must have driven higher demand!

I might stick with my Sirius XM subscription because it has audio for all Tigers, Wings, Pistons and Lions games but the problem is it lags by a minute or two, worse than At Bat.

So, Kerry Carpenter leadoff.  That feels experimenty.

This is the line-up I expected.  As a big proponent of defense, I like having Baez in the line-up.  If he hits more like 2024 than 2025, then go to another plan.  Same with Meadows except you hopes it's more 2024 than 2025.
