The Detroit Tigers floundered in the opening game of their road series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night, as Justin Verlander was anything but in vintage form in the team’s 9-6 loss. They will get another shot on Tuesday night in the desert behind their former No. 1 draft pick, Casey Mize, who opens the campaign in the fifth and final spot of the starting rotation. The Snakes will send fellow right-hander Brandon Pfaadt to the mound opposite him, looking for the victory and his team’s first series win of the nascent season. With that in mind, take a look below at a brief comparison of Tuesday night’s pitchers.
