The Almanac's Take

One game on the board and only the Detroit side is confirmed — Cleveland's lineup hasn't posted yet, so the full matchup picture is incomplete. Within what's here, Dillon Dingler hitting third with 14 home runs and an .840 OPS is the standout — that's a lot of pop for a catcher slotted that high in an order. Riley Greene follows at cleanup with a .872 OPS and 6 HR, giving Detroit a legitimate middle-of-the-order punch back-to-back. Hold off on building around this game until Cleveland confirms; the opposing pitcher and handedness splits will matter.
