2000 Yankee won 87 games too
As much as I love the Tigers, it’s not a bet I would place.

They can barely get runs
I’m no baseball expert, but I will guarantee that the World Serirs this year will be Toronto Blue Jays vs Detroit Tigers
If that happens I will personally drive to Florida and hand you ten thousand dollars.
You have my word.
I’m pissed that all three games this week are 1 o’clock. They couldn’t give us one evening game? Meanwhile, they slurp on the Red Sox and Yankees.
Doubt the get passed Cleveland in round one.
It’s perfect for me. I get to schedule a nice nap before and after the games.
That is hard to believe. I’m a bit shocked.
It’s all about pitching and who gets hot in baseball. They could revert to late 2024 and early 2025 mode. Also, they might not. If you are a paid subscriber, I’ll reveal all.
You deserve that and more my friend.
after having the best record in baseball for much of the year, they finished, wait for it, tied for 10th best record.
i guess ya never know, but it sure doesn’t feel like a turnaround is coming.
Pitching and batters getting hot in October .
Not sure we have either of that though , you guys know more then me
If we lose tomorrow, that means that we will have lost 3 consecutive Skubal starts to the SAME team.
I don’t care who you are, you are going to have a very hard time beating that guy three times in a row.
So, assuming we don’t lose our third consecutive Skubal start in a row to the same team, we’ll then have to win one of two with all of the pressure on them.
I think there is a very real shot we win this series, and apparently the odds makers do too.
We clinched this year on the same exact day that we clinched a spot last year (2nd from the last game)
The two seasons have a completely different vibe though.
A loss tomorrow would also be our 4th consecutive Skubal start loss overall.
Well, you do know our bullpen has to close the game unless we get a full game out of Skubal
Right now we have no reliable bullpen/Closer, and we score about 2-2.5 runs per game
Not a great combination to have going into the playoffs
Edit: I agree Skubal may not give up a run, I just don’t trust the BP to keep any lead over 3 runs
How the hell were we the best team in the 1st half then???
