Neither the Detroit Tigers nor the Chicago White Sox were very good in 2018. Both teams lost at least 98 games, and formed two-thirds of the worst divisional trio in baseball. Both clubs will have a top-five draft pick in June as a result, and both are hoping to win a few more games in 2019. They are in similar-ish places in their respective rebuilds right now — which makes cross-site conversations like this one very easy — but both teams have major questions to answer before they return to contention.
The Tigers got the better of their division rivals in 2018, winning 12 of 19 matchups.
