On Friday night, the Detroit Tigers defeated the Chicago White Sox 4-1, clinching a playoff berth for the first time since 2014. In the process, they handed the south siders their record setting 121st loss of the season. Despite a strong month of August, it took a 17-6 run in September, with two games remaining, to overtake the Minnesota Twins. The speed with which this came together, and the absolutely relentless team effort required to make it happen, has no doubt taken many fans breath away.
We weren’t expecting this, and so your first questions, assuming you weren’t looking ahead, may be who are the Tigers going to play, and what does the postseason schedule look like for them now?
