The defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers technically introduced a new Major League Baseball season last week, when they played two contests against the Chicago Cubs in Tokyo, Japan. (The Dodgers won both of those games, improving to 2-0 on the year.)
Now, the Dodgers have returned stateside to get the “normal” part of their schedule underway. That entails, among other things, bringing in Opening Day with their home opener against the Tigers.

Detroit’s offseason haul included second baseman Gleyber Torres, reliever Tommy Kahnle, and starter Jack Flaherty, who the club fittingly dealt to the Dodgers last deadline. (The Tigers also inked starters Alex Cobb and José Urquidy, but both will begin the season on the injured list.)
