Being below .500 through the first 40 games of the season should not come as a shock to Detroit Tigers fans. With the team still in the midst of a rebuild, we all knew coming in what type of season 2019 would be, and so far it has gone pretty much as expected.
Detroit’s 18-22 record has them currently sitting in fourth place in the AL Central, seven and a half games back of the division-leading Twins. However, the Tigers are just three and a half games behind Cleveland for the second AL Wild Card spot, but Detroit fans should definitely not get any hopes up for a postseason appearance.
