Half way through the 2022 baseball season, the Detroit Tigers find themselves in 4th place, with 37 wins and 55 losses, on pace for a 97 loss season. The team is 12.5 games behind the division leading Minnesota Twins, and the same distance out of the third wild card playoff spot. This is not what fans had hoped for at the beginning of the season.
The Tigers have had an unfair share of injuries, to be sure.. Four of their five starting pitchers, plus several replacement starters have spent time on the injured list, but their pitching staff as a whole has still managed to put up near average numbers.
