The Chicago White Sox open their home schedule at U.S. Cellular Field on Friday afternoon against the consensus lead dog in the AL Central, but even if they lose to the Detroit Tigers, the smell of grilled onions and the game day atmosphere on the south side of Chicago should overcome an disappointment in the result.
Jake Peavy gets the start for the Sox, while Max Scherzer will try to bounce back after being shelled by the Red Sox in his first game. These are the starting lineups for Friday's opener at U.S. Cellular Field:
1. Austin Jackson, CF
2. Brennan Boesch, RF
3. Miguel Cabrera, 3B
4. Prince Fielder, 1B
5. Delmon Young, LF
6. Alex Avila, C
