How are the Tigers THIS BAD??? If you read all of the hot takes about how embarrassing the Orioles are, then you would forget that the Tigers existed.

Just gained a game on them last night.

Looks like the Royals are pretty much out of the race.  They have 2 more games against the Marlins that someone has to win.

Yeah, the Royals beat the Marlins again last night, so the odds of them catching us are minuscule.  The Marlins are also a long shot to catch us with teams having 20-21 games remaining.

Never say never, but Detroit's remaining schedule looks a lot harder than the O's. We're looking at #2 next year I think.

The upcoming 4-game series against Detroit could be vital to how the Draft slots play out. If Detroit wins 3 out of 4 or even (gulp) sweep us, the race for the first pick will be on with a dozen or so games remaining (at that point). If it goes the other way and we split or win the series, that'll cement the Tigers in at #1.

Nice to see the Tigers walk off against the Yanks...

It's all over but the crying, Greg.

#'s 1 and 2 are pretty much locked. KC/Miami can duke it out for #3.

Yeah, it would take an unexpected win streak by Detroit for us to have a shot at #1 with so few games remaining. As you said, we're virtually a lock to pick #2. I'd be very happy with that.

Does this pretty much eliminate us from picking Hancock?
