We’re obviously biased, but as a staff, we find that the MLB postseason loses a bit of luster when the Detroit Tigers aren’t involved. Playoff races are certainly more fun when your team is involved, and even gut-wrenching playoff losses — of which we’ve experienced plenty in recent years — are better than missing out on the postseason entirely.
Unfortunately, we’re in the latter camp again in 2017. However, with several former Tigers players still in the hunt for a championship, there is a bit more intrigue in this year’s playoffs. Plus, the number of “super teams” should make for some great postseason battles.
