The Detroit Tigers begin the season tonight against the Miami Marlins. Here’s everything you need to watch the MLB Opening Day contest between the two teams.

Detroit Tigers season is upon us. Everyone’s favorite American League Central team opens the season against the Miami Marlins. The Tigers begin a bid for a fifth Central title in six years on the road.

Conveniently, the team is staying in Florida for the matchup. While the rest of the fans in Michigan will have to wait for later in the week to see the Tigers at home, you can catch your team on the television against the Fish.

We’ve known for a little while that Justin Verlander will start on Opening Day. Here’s the rest of the lineup for the Tigers.

  • Ian Kinsler, 2B
  • Justin Upton, LF
  • Miguel Cabrera, 1B
  • J.D. Martinez, RF

    Both managers have obviously front-loaded their respective lineups with the team’s best players in order to get them more at-bats. Both Brad Ausmus and Don Mattingly opted to go with second baseman to lead off.
