Detroit at Texas

The Detroit Tigers were sailing along, looking to be on their way to clinching the AL Central crown early. That all changed when they slumped for a month, and relinquished first place to Kansas City. That seemed to be a wake up call for this team that has gotten back on their feet and are playing championship-caliber baseball once again. The Tigers have won five straight games, and have gotten their pitching back in order as they have allowed just 17 runs over their last six games. The offense is also back in gear, scoring 6 runs per game over their last 10. The Tigers are also 9-2 behind Sanchez when he works on five days rest. The Rangers are getting hammered at home as a dog where they are 1-11 in their last 12, and simply aren't the same team we have seen over the past few seasons. Play on Detroit.
