The Detroit Tigers didn't just overcome the Seattle Mariners in Game 1 of the ALDS on Saturday; they also overcame some questionable-at-best officiating from home plate umpire Alex Tosi.
All told, Tosi missed 23 calls in Saturday's game. He had a correct call rate of just 86.1%. Per Umpire Auditor, only 26 of the 2,445 games this season had a lower correct call rate.
According to Umpire Scorecards, Tosi's relative accuracy in Game 1 was 3.2% below expected, and his missed calls actually favored the Mariners by 0.31 runs. However, the Tigers were able to contain the after-effects from Tosi's botched calls – errors, free bases, momentum swings, etc.
