Sale will start Opening Day for the White Sox, ESPN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

Sale was the definition of an ace in 2014, leading the league with a 10.8 K/9 and allowing two runs or fewer in 18 of his 26 starts. It comes as no surprise that manager Robin Ventura selected him to start Day 1, and Sale should be among the AL's elite as long as he is healthy.
