    Obviously something isn't right. DL in near future.

    Tigers are #2 in pitching in the AL. Number 1 in batting in mlb. Struggling? You mean this week? It's May btw.

    Struggling for their standards...


    Verlander and Scherzer are not pitching like their normal selves

    no they are not struggling at the plate.

    they straight up mash at the plate.

    Bullpen been shitty all season though and their starting rotation is a bit "off"

    also Austin Jackson is on the DL

    i am just hoping they make the Tigers 7-1

    Tigers have no pen. They won't win it all I don't think. They as a team are all in but lack defense and have no relief.

    Defense is not that great your right. But up the middle they are legit at Catcher , middle infield, and center field. on the corners they are a bit sketchy but prince fielder is underrated on defense.

    deuce who would u say has the most complete ball club?

    That's why you don't give pitchers big contracts

    how is this a useless thread?

    I want to bet the Tigers to win the world series but i want to get better than 6-1 odds. I know what they are capable of but right now Verlander is pitching awful.

    He's 4-4 . And he just signed a 300 million dollar contract. Thats cause for concern.

    I'm just wondering if any of yalll think the sportsbooks will change the odds to maybe 7-1 or 8-1???

    has anybody seen it better than 6-1 ? if so where at?

    162 game season..1 outing means little...Phil Humber tossed a perfect game last year, yet no one added him to their Cy Young props following it.

    Tigers have little competition from within the division, and match up well with most AL teams...6-1 is chalky, but name me a signifigantly better AL group that has a clearer path to october.

    The only pitcher I can think of that hardly got rocked with laying the heavy juice was Pedro Martinez. Can anyone back this? Name any solid pitcher that never lost you heavy juice.?

    Their division is tougher than joe bettor expected. They're a strong team, but definitely have their flaws

    Verlander has already shown he can't win games in the world series.
