The reigning AL Cy Young winner has held opponents scoreless in three of his first six starts -- his ERA is down to 2.34 with a 1.04 WHIP and 40:5 K:BB over 34.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner entered this contest on a roll, firing 13 scoreless innings over his previous two starts. However, Skubal looked ordinary in this outing, allowing a season-worst seven hits -- all singles -- while generating 12 whiffs out of 91 total pitches. The Detroit southpaw has pitched to a 2.83 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 29:5 K:BB across 28.2 innings. Skubal is currently scheduled to make his next start against the Orioles at home next weekend.

Skubal (2-2) earned the win Monday against the Brewers, allowing four hits and no walks while striking out nine in seven scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

The Brewers had no answers for the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner, who hurled four no-hit innings to begin the game. Milwaukee did load the bases with two outs while in a 9-0 deficit during the sixth inning, but Skubal blew a fastball by Rhys Hoskins for the final out of the frame. Skubal will bring an excellent 2.66 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 25:4 K:BB over 23.2 innings (four starts) into his next scheduled start at home against the Royals, which lines up for this weekend.

Skubal (1-2) got the win Tuesday against the Yankees after tossing six scoreless innings while allowing just four hits. He struck out six without walking a batter.

Skubal lowered his ERA from 5.91 to 3.78 after a pair of rough starts by his standards to open up the season. He'll look to keep things moving in the right direction in a road start versus the Brewers next week.

Skubal (0-2) took the loss against the Mariners on Wednesday. He allowed three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out eight across 5.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Skubal was able to limit the damage to three runs despite allowing nine base runners, though his solo homer to Dylan Moore in the fourth inning ultimately brought in the Mariners' game-winning run as the Tigers weren't able to generate enough offense to help Skubal avoid the loss. Skubal has failed to complete six innings in each of his first two starts and has begun the season with a 5.91 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 10.2 innings.

Skubal (0-1) allowed four earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two across five innings to take the loss Thursday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Skubal faced a stiff test on Opening Day, and that showed as he generated only eight swinging strikes on 80 total pitches. He still did a solid job of limiting runs and baserunners, but the big blow came on a three-run homer that he surrendered to Teoscar Hernandez in the fifth inning. There's no reason to panic regarding this performance for Skubal, though it would be reassuring to see him return to his typical dominance in his next turn through the rotation.

Skubal allowed two runs on six hits across five innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

The reigning American League Cy Young Award winner may make one more spring appearance before starting Detroit's season opener March 27 against the Dodgers on the road.

The lefty ace looks ready for the regular season, and he'll start the Tigers' Opening Day game March 27 against the Dodgers to kick things off.

Skubal has been named the Tigers' starting pitcher for their Opening Day game March 27 against the Dodgers, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

As the reigning unanimous American League Cy Young Award winner, Skubal was as obvious of a choice as it gets to take the ball Opening Day. He'll face a tall task in going up against the World Series champions, but fantasy managers aren't going to be sitting Skubal in any matchups.

Skubal agreed to a one-year, $10.15 million contract with the Tigers on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
