The Detroit Tigers return home from a short six-game road swing this weekend following a series loss in the Bronx to the New York Yankees during the week. Fortunately, the Motor City Kitties swept the Chicago White Sox on the front end of that trip last weekend in a three-game set to at least assert dominance over their American League Central rivals.
This weekend sees things coming full circle as the ChiSox pay a visit to Motown for another three-game tangle. The Tigers are currently 12 games under .500 and nine games behind the first-place Minnesota Twins, having split the last 10 games as the team cements its third-place position; the Cleveland Guardians are only 2.
