Detroit Tigers baseball has gotten off to a fairly successful start. Despite some less-than-stellar performances from the starting pitchers, the team is 8-6 and only 1.5 games out of first place in the loaded American League Central.
The Tigers are poised for a return to the postseason this season. There are a number of early factors and trends that should help the team return to October baseball. Detroit’s balanced offensive attack will help, as will superstars like Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez and Justin Upton. The trio are struggling, but will turn it around.
