Despite a disastrous September, the Detroit Tigers will be playing postseason baseball in October. Ironically, Detroit will face off in the American League Wild Card Series against the team that just surged past them for the AL Central crown: the Cleveland Guardians. More relevant to the Tigers than their playoff draw, however, is the fact that they have arguably the best pitcher in baseball on their team in the form of Tarik Skubal, who sounds eager for the postseason to begin.
Skubal will take the ball in Game 1 against the Guardians on Tuesday at Progressive Field, and Detroit has to feel amazing about its chances.
