Why are the Tigers pitching so well against Mike Trout?

Detroit pitchers have made the reigning MVP and three-time All-Star look human over the past couple seasons.

As much as we love Miguel Cabrera, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout is the best player in baseball. He hits for average, he hits for power, he has blazing speed, and he plays excellent defense at a premium position. He's the total package, and there's a reason many people feel like Trout was snubbed when Cabrera won the American League MVP Award in both 2012 and 2013. If sabermetricians ruled the world, Trout would be a three-time MVP before his 24th birthday.
