TIGERS WILL FACE ANGELS IN ALDS

The Detroit Tigers will face the Los Angeles Angels in the American League Division Series, beginning Sunday October 8th, in Detroit. The Angels beat the Minnesota Twins 2 games to none in the Wild Card round.

Because the Angels Wild Card series started Tuesday, Shoehei Ohtani is expected to be ready to start game 1. Ohtani pitched 8 innings against the Twins, allowing just 2 runs, while striking out 10. Ohtani was 17-9 with a 3.18 ERA in the regular season. The Tigers are expected to start 21 game winner Spencer Turnbull in Game 1, followed by Tarik Skubal (8-0, 3.01), Michael Lorenzen (18-3, 2,75), and Matt Manning (14-2, 3.02). Tyler Anderson, Lucas Giolito, and Patrick Sandoval are expected to start games 2-4 for the Angels, though that could change depending on how the series goes.

Game 2 is slated for Monday afternoon in Detroit. Games 3 and 4 will be Wednesday and Thursday night in LA. Game 5 would be Saturday back in Detroit.

The other A.L. Division Series will be the Houston Astros against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Astros defeated the Yankees 2 games to none in the Wild Card round.

In the National League, it will be the Brewers against the Braves, and the Pirates against the Dodgers. The Pirates defeated the Mets 2 games to none, while the Brewers beat the Cardinals 2 games to 1. Both NLDS series begin on Saturday, while both ALDS series begin on Sunday.
