Here we go. After 10 years, the Detroit Tigers are back in the postseason and they’re carrying a huge head of steam following one of greatest stretch drives in the game’s history. The AL Wild Card Series between the Tigers and the Houston Astros gets underway at Minute Maid Park in Houston with a 2:32 p.m. ET start time on Tuesday.
The Astros are on a nice second half run of their own, and it’s a roster stacked with experienced elite hitters and starting pitchers, and backed with a tough bulllpen. The Tigers will have their hands full taking two of three on the road from Houston, but everything about their run over the last two months has been tough.
