The Red Sox and Tigers are primed to clash on Friday night as a part of Apple TV+'s 'Friday Night Baseball' doubleheader.
Through the first two months of the 2024 MLB season, both teams have endured their share of fits and bursts.
For Boston, strong starting pitching — including a 1.90 ERA for Friday's starter, Tanner Houck — has helped mitigate injuries to Garrett Whitlock and Brayan Bello. Meanwhile, Rafael Devers (.928 OPS) has carried the offense's load amid injuries to Tristan Casas, Trevor Story, and Masataka Yoshida.

The Tigers have struggled to hit, especially their infield cornerstones: Spencer Torkelson (.644 OPS), Colt Keith (.590 OPS), and Javier Baez (.506 OPS) are all performing well below league average. But the pitching, led by blossoming ace Tarik Skubal (7-1, 2.01 ERA), is to be feared.
