During the 2010s, the Tigers were a force to be reckoned with on Opening Day in Detroit.

From 2009-2017, the Tigers won nine straight openers in Detroit. Even in the valley of its rebuild, Detroit has still managed to go .500 over its last four Detroit Opening Days, bringing its overall record of 68-52-1 since 1901.

The lone tie came on its fourth opening day in 1904 against the St. Louis Browns, which ended 4-4 — the first of 10 ties that season, which still stands today as a Major League record.

The Tigers have been in some wild home openers as of late:
