Now that the 2022 MLB trade deadline has passed, it's worthwhile to check back in on the updated World Series odds. While the Yankees, Dodgers, and Astros still sit atop the World Series odds boards, given the changes to this year's playoff format, it's truly anyone's game once the 12-team field is officially set.

Just being able to write about the Detroit Tigers and any sort of realistic shot at making the playoffs is so refreshing, when such thoughts have been non existent for the past five years, basically since former owner Mike Ilitch passed away. But here we are, with the much heralded prospects arriving in the major leagues and the team actually…

At the beginning of the season, talk around baseball concerning the best starting rotations in the big leagues likely won't focus on the A's. But the talk should trend westward because the A's have the arms, all healthy for once, to orchestrate Oakland's third consecutive postseason appearance. The A's, winners of 97 games each of the last two…

Another day went by on Saturday without the Atlanta Braves doing…well…anything. With the Braves doing the bulk of their spending in the form of long-term extensions over the last few years, the Braves shopping list this offseason is small. Given that the team likely won't want to go TOO far over the luxury tax threshold (count us among those that…

The Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers will wrap up their weekend series Sunday afternoon at Comerica Park. With that said, it's a good time to check out our MLB odds series, which includes our Twins-Tigers prediction and pick we have laid out below.

With Opening Day right around the corner, it's important to get ahead of as many predictions as possible. At least, it's more fun that way. Think about it like this: Just a few weeks ago, we weren't sure when we might watch Major League Baseball again. Here we are after every major free-agent signing and plenty of marquee trades, with a decent look…

The big day is finally here. Opening Day in Detroit, and we're going to have a good time. It doesn't hurt that the season begins with the foe the Tigers will need to take down to ever reclaim control over the AL Central.

Baseball, more than any other major sport, is unpredictable. The season is a marathon and with injuries and regression always remaining a possibility, the crystal ball stays cloudy most of the time. This was especially true for the Detroit Tigers, who brought in some veteran help like Javier Baez, Eduardo Rodriguez, and Tucker Barnhart, but they…

MLB Free Agency has been sluggish across the entire league. None of the top guys have signed and not too much has changed, but we do have some rumors and reports surrounding some of the Braves free agents that have made me adjust my thoughts surrounding the likelihood each one of them returns. Original Prediction: 10% New Prediction: 10% Nothing's…

DUNEDIN, Fla. - The Detroit Tigers lost to the Toronto Blue Jays, 4-3, on Monday at TD Ballpark, falling to 9-11 in Grapefruit League play. Trying to put the finishing touches on securing a roster spot, right-hander Julio Teheran started and made 30 pitches (21 strikes) across two innings. He departed early for precautionary reasons involved with…

The Detroit Tigers will head into the 2022 season with the hopes of capitalizing on a weak division after going 77-85 in 2021. They possess a young roster and added a few veteran pieces this offseason with the hopes to flip into "win-now" mode. Doc's Sports offers MLB expert picks for every game on our baseball predictions page. Notable…

Wait, don't tell me! Noah Syndergaard, Noah Syndergaard? The backup goalie for the Winnipeg Jets? … OK, I give up. Who is he? The red-hot Rays host the injury-plagued Phillies. Philly's depleted lineup, combined with their inadequate road record, make for a tough sell. But Zack Wheeler (4-2, 2.38 ERA) goes Saturday. Zack whacked Boston last out,…

The New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers will square off in a Spring Training game at the Tigers' spring home Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland, Florida. Both teams are wrapping up their Spring Training and getting ready for Opening Day 2022. What should fans expect from both teams in this matchup? The New York Yankees are coming…

Martin Perez is having himself a career outlier season that's almost too good to be true. Is it? We think Detroit's one of the teams that can expose him - find out why with our Rangers vs. Tigers MLB betting picks. The Texas Rangers (29-33) entered the month of June with a.500 record but have since dropped to four games under after starting the…

Although the Tigers finished last in the AL Central in 2020 for the third time in four years, there was ample evidence of a corner slowly being turned - whether in the arrival of a quartet of prospects (pitchers Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal, infielder Isaac Paredes, and outfielder Daz Cameron), the breakouts of Willi Castro and Jeimer Candelario or…

Light can now be seen at the end of the tunnel for the Tigers. A brutal rebuild that has led to seven seasons without a playoff appearance on the heels of four straight division titles is finally starting to pay off. Detroit's 77 wins last season were the second-most in that seven-year span, trailing only the 2016 season that felt like the team's…

Opening up the is a bit like opening a time capsule. Will we find that we accurately represented the things that were really important to us? Or a pair of Reebok pumps and a Milli Vanilli cassette? I've found the exercise worthwhile as a way to "test" and refine my draft process each year. With the information I had at the time, would I make the…

The Boston Red Sox host the Atlanta Braves for Game 1 of a short 2-game series! It's time to continue our MLB odds series with a Braves-Red Sox prediction and pick.

The Tigers were vicotrious…

It's a doom and gloom forecast, but let's assume the Atlanta Braves will watch all eight of their free-agents-to-be move on. They'll waive goodbye to Dansby Swanson, Kenley Jansen and Adam Duvall. Robbie Grossman will sign elsewhere, Luke Jackson too, along with Jesse Chavez - actually, we'll see you back in a Braves uniform after next season's…

This is likely to be the last year where we have to see our divisional rivals 19 times a season, with the 2023 season promising to see more diversity in match-ups with every team facing each other at least once every year. Still 2022 is a classic year where we'll be seeing a lot of our four divisional rivals, so we figured for the first clash…

Drew Hutchison's exit from the Detroit Tigers' roster happened so fast that we didn't even have a chance to include him on the "really vulnerable" list for this offseason. Nothing against Hutchison, who was second on the Tigers' in innings pitched in 2022, but there was little doubt that he would be off the roster by the first week in the…

With the Detroit Tigers out of the playoffs once again, fans have had to get their baseball fix from the 2022 MLB Postseason. Thankfully, it hasn't disappointed so far…well, except for game 2 of the Rays/Guardians series (no runs until the 15th inning? Seriously???) The Wild Card round has concluded, with four teams moving on and four teams going…

And so another Detroit Tigers season comes to a close. This wraps up the fourth season we've been doing this newsletter and, well, we certainly can't say there's been a pattern. 2019, with its mere 47 wins (and the very real shot at the AL loss record), was just a six-month dumpster fire. (Though that might be unkind to dumpster fires, which at…

When September started, the stakes were obvious, but at least somewhat daunting. The Braves had 31 games to make up a three-game deficit in the division, with a key showdown for the Mets in Atlanta set to begin on the final day of the month. Their odds of winning the division sat at 15 percent, reflecting a distinct, but still pretty unlikely,…

This game…

Your mind can't help but drift towards concern when Ronald Acuna Jr. is dealing with "lower-body soreness". The Atlanta Braves right fielder missed most of last season after tearing the ACL in his right knee, forcing him to miss the start of this season. Acuna Jr. was a late scratch ahead of Sunday's series finale against the New York Mets due to…

The Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins are set to collide for Game 1 of a three-game weekend series on Friday, which will be broadcast on Apple TV. Pitching has been a strength of both these clubs, but the difference between these two teams is that the Braves have an offense that can do damage, while the Marlins continue to search for answers with…
