Tigers will win the central. Beat Seattle in alcs. Then beat the Mets in the world series.
We will win 89 games in the regular season.
My bold prediction is that Dingler will hit .290 or more this year and will universally be recognized as one of the best 2 or 3 catchers in the league.

if they can avoid the bug from last year in that they hit EVERYTHING and then missed EVERYTHING the last half, just be consistent, I’d say 90+ wins. That pitching staff is pretty damn good.
win the division? Yep. probably by 8 games at least.
Playoffs? deep. WS? I dunno. I mean we might actually trade skubal by the trade deadline if someone ponies up serious stuff, and I wouldn’t be mad.
