The two best records in baseball are set to meet for a three-game set this weekend as the Cubs head to Detroit to take on the Tigers. After squeaking into the playoffs by the skin of their teeth last year, things have really come together for Detroit in 2025. Longtime prospect Spencer Torkelson is breaking out, and the addition of Gleyber Torres has been a boon to the team’s infield production.
Meanwhile, the Cubs improved their fortunes by trading for star outfielder Kyle Tucker over the winter, and that addition has been complemented by the breakout of center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong. Game 1 will see reigning AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal (2.26 ERA) take on Cubs youngster Ben Brown (5.72 ERA). Game 2 will feature Cubs veteran Jameson Taillon (3.76 ERA) on the bump against righty Keider Montero (4.02 ERA), while the series finale will pit top

I don’t think anyone projected PCA to hit for this kind of power. Crazy. Last night the guy hits a single to right field where the right field there has to be moving towards the foul line to get the ball off the ground. PCA puts in high gear out of the box hits first base at speed and hustles it up to a double. Next pitch he steals third without a throw and Waltz is home on a ground ball. His Centerfield defense is platinum glove level right now and he has more home runs than Tork hitting .275, which is thr new .290. ffs
So when people say we should trade Max Clark for somebody tell them PCA, because those guys comp out awful damn similarly
Series: Three games at Comerica Park, Detroit
