    MLB futures Detroit Tigers
    Season Win Total under 90.5 +126 @ Pinny

    Three starting pitchers and a closer eligible for more than a bit of regression, the worst defence in baseball by far and a linuep that will strike out at a higher than league average rate. (possibly much higher if Raburn gets 500 AB). The corner outfielders have never played a full season, Boesch is as streaky as a comet and Dirks is unproven.

    Avila and Peralta will not be near as effective this year, Valverde is a gas can in waiting in the second half. Fister and Porcello live and die by the ground ball. That defence is going to cost those two at least three wins a piece.

    I don't see much in that division that says 88-89 wins won't do the trick and only the Pale Hose look capable of that. Cleveland has the arms but no offense to speak of.

    Laying a grand to win 1260.

    Small play on the Chisox to win the division. $200 to win $2534.

    you are way over valuing the importance of defense is baseball.

    you must have a pretty good gambling acumen and bankroll to tie up a grand for the next 5 months so I'm not gonna argue with you

          yes, i agree. valverde is going to lose some games, verlander had a career year and will not do that again this year, and the number of wins produced between the lose of v mart and acquisition of fielder will not make up for it.

          and of course the lack of adequate run prevention will reduce the win total by a few games over the course of the season.

            What I look at when evaluating the importance of defence is the pitching staff. This defence should not have an adverse effect on Verlander (and to some degree Scherzer) who will take care of his own business but Porcello, Fister and the 5 slot will live and die by that defense. They are pitch to contact ground ball guys.

              I understand your logic. I think that saying each pitcher will lose 2-3 extra games due to that is crazy

                    Tigers could easily go on a run and pick up 17 out of 20 games deeper into the season once they figure out the 5th spot in the rotation and their lineup hits the way they should be.

                        so far so good on the UNDER...

                        Detroit (16-17) has dropped four of six to start its nine-game road trip and is below .500 for the first time all year.

                          Yeh so far

                          I do not see them getting better

                          High payroll teams for the most part are failures

                                Futures plays looking OK so far. Long season though, nothing is a given

                                    8 errors in three games. This Tiger team is not very good.
