71-91 over the last 162. This is the kind of team Scott Harris has built.
After starting June 7-2 the Tigers have gone 5-7 since. We are likely witnessing the beginning of the end.
The Tigers are 7-28 this season when Kevin McGonigle and Dillon Dingler are held to just 1 combined hit or fewer.
Going back to September of last season the Tigers are 7-9 in Skubal starts. Skubal has a 2.65 ERA over that span.
The Tigers are currently 7.5 games back in the division + 5 games back in the wild card. The decision to buy or sell at the deadline will be based on a lot of factors, including how they’re playing + how healthy they are. But this current deficit feels close to the cutoff point.
Tigers record this season:
4 runs or more.
3 runs or fewer.
Tigers are 30-19 when they hit at least one home run.
They are 4-27 when they do not hit a home run.
The 21-year-old Detroit Tigers prospect is one of baseball’s most promising young hitters.
