Detroit Tigers Push for AL Playoff Spot

The Detroit Tigers have experienced a remarkable turnaround, winning 11 of their last 14 games and positioning themselves for a potential playoff berth after years of struggle. As of now, the Tigers are tied with the Kansas City Royals for the final American League Wildcard spot, with the Minnesota Twins and Seattle Mariners closely trailing. The team's success has been fueled by a young core of players, strong pitching led by Cy Young candidate Tarik Skubal, and clutch performances in tight games. Their recent victories, including a successful road trip, have allowed them to control their own playoff destiny. With six games remaining in the regular season, the Tigers face a favorable schedule against weaker opponents, increasing their chances of clinching a playoff spot for the first time since 2014. If they maintain their current form, Comerica Park could host playoff baseball after a decade-long absence.
