Detroit opened up the vault for starter Framber Valdez (3.66 ERA in 2025), Justin Verlander, and reliever Kenley Jansen. Valdez will start, while Jansen had a 2.59 ERA and 29 saves last season with the Angels. San Diego's offense went bust in the opener, mustering five hits and two runs. Starter Michael King is healthy and showcased his 93-94 MPH sinker in Spring Training. San Diego's bullpen was No. 1 last year with a 3.06 ERA, so don't look for many runs. Take Detroit/San Diego UNDER the total.
