It has been a full decade since the last time the Detroit Tigers earned a spot in the MLB playoffs, and thanks to a miraculous run that has seen the team go 30-11 over the past two months, they are on the brink of snapping that streak with a wild card spot this fall.
The season's final series comes at home against the Chicago White Sox, who need just one more loss to set the all-time major-league futility record. They have already surpassed Detroit’s American League mark of 119 and the next defeat will give them the edge over the 1962 New York Mets, who went 40-120 in their inaugural season.
