Will The Detroit Tigers Make The Playoffs?

Last year the Detroit Tigers had an awesome season.  They had a record of 86-76 in the regular season, and made it to the playoffs.  So far, this current season is going just as well for them.

The Tigers current record is 22-13.  This record has them sitting in first in the ALC (American League Central).  They are stellar at home with a record of 13-3 from home.  They also have an away record of 9-10.

the Tigers Spencer Torkelson has been a key asset to this Tigers team.  He has a whopping 10 home runs just this season.  On top of that, Kerry Carpenter is not far behind with 8 home runs.

Ti make it into the playoffs the Tigers need to be top of their division, or be one of the top three teams in their league with the best record among nondivision winners.  So if the season were to end now the Tigers would be in the playoffs.

The Tigers are having a remarkable season so far.  They are first in their league, and their players are playing great.  They have played 35 out of 162 games so far.  That means they have won about 63 percent of their games.  A MLB team should win about 54-57 percent of their games, which converts to about 88-90 wins.  so based on this math, if the Tigers continue at the rate they are at they will make the playoffs, leading them to a chance at the world series.
