The season has not been kind to the Detroit Tigers, who enter the series with a record of 28-54. Even with their disappointing performance this season, Detroit is currently 4th in the AL Central with only Kansas City below them. The Tigers are coming off of a series against the White Sox where they won one of three games and will be looking to build off their much-needed Independence Day win coming into the series with Boston.
Boston’s title defense has been far from ideal this season. To start their campaign, they won only two of their first ten games.
