It's going to be an uphill battle to take 2 of 3 in Detroit. That's the best-case scenario IMO. With the way they're playing right now, I just don't see it. Here's hoping I'm wrong.

At least we won't have to face Skubal. But, broken record time, its just beyond bad how weak this offense has become.

There's not much anything can be done at this point. All you can do is go forward and hope they can put enough games together where the offense is clicking, especially come play-off time. The off season is a different story. The whole offensive philosophy they've installed with this team needs to be torn down and rebuilt with different people and not any of the analytics wizards. It doesn't work. Yeah, I know...they're a top 5 offense. Big deal. A lot of good it's done them over the past 3 months. And as pitiful as hitting is in the sport, that's hardly anything to brag about.

Baltimore Orioles: The highly improbable scenarios to miss the playoffs - The Baltimore Banner

The Tigers currently have the seventh-best record in the American League, meaning if the season ended right now they would be the first team not to make the playoffs.

On Friday, Detroit will play their first of six games this season against the Orioles. If Detroit wins at least four of the six, they will have the tiebreaker in the event that the two teams end the season with the same record.

With 15 games to go, the Tigers are eight games behind the Orioles. To catch them, Detroit would have to, at a minimum, go 12-3 in its final 15 games — including winning at least four of the six against Baltimore — and the Orioles would need to go 4-11. They would end the season tied, with Detroit having the tiebreaker.

Not sure how Detroit has been able to stay afloat after trading Flaherty. Skubal is great. Mize and the rest are meh. Bullpen isn't great.

They've got Greene and Carpenter on offense and not much else.

I'll be disappointed if we don't take 2 of 3 considering we miss Skubal this time.
