The Detroit Tigers have lost more than 100 games on five occasions since free agency was introduced to Major League Baseball in 1976.
The 2019 Tigers (29-65) stand to join them at their current pace, entering Sunday’s series finale with the Toronto Blue Jays at Comerica Park.
Fivethirtyeight’s MLB prediction model has Detroit finishing 55-107. Of course, these models aren’t always right on the money, and there’s reason to believe — such as a 7-33 record in June and July — that the Tigers will challenge the 2003 squad, which finished 43-119.
