After a hot start, the Detroit Tigers have crumbled, losing eight in a row. Translate to a 60 game season and that’s the equivalent of a 22 game losing streak. The tailspin is not yet unrecoverable, but something is really going to have to change with this offense, because the competition isn’t going to get any easier when the Tigers leave Chicago.
They’ll play the Cleveland Indians, Chicago Cubs, and Minnesota Twins as their next three opponents. This is the gauntlet that could sink the season by the halfway point.
