With the recent acquisition of outfielder Justin Upton, the Tigers seem to be pretty much set with their position players going into the 2016 season. So, I will now try to predict how many runs they will score. I was pretty good (lucky?) at projecting the Tigers team run totals in 2013 and 2014:
In 2013, I guessed that they would score 800 runs and they ended up scoring 796, so I was off by just four runs.
In 2014, I surmised that they would score 760 runs and they actually scored 757, so I was off by three runs.
