Yeah really, they’ve only got to win at least 9 of their last 10...
Tigers’ problem is they don’t have the tiebreaker on the Royals and Twins. The good news is they only have to catch one of them, so 8-2 might get it done. But they must complete the sweep against KC.
And they do close against the White Sox. And the Orioles seem to be choking now, as well.
Also for all intents and purposes this is the playoffs for the Tigers.
And sometimes a team in “playoff mode” at the end of the season can carry that into the post season.
The Rangers were the last seed in the AL last year, and we all know how they did.
