The Almanac's Take

One game confirmed so far, so the slate is thin. The Cardinals' Jordan Walker is the standout positional note — hitting fifth with 21 home runs and a .866 OPS, he's buried deeper than that production deserves, which tends to suppress counting-stat expectations while keeping the power upside intact. Detroit counters with a bottom-third punch that's hard to ignore: Dillon Dingler at sixth with 19 home runs and an .846 OPS, and Riley Greene just ahead of him at fifth posting a .853 OPS and 13 home runs. That 5-6 block for the Tigers is unusually concentrated power for those order slots.
