Well things went pretty well for the home team in Cincinnati. Despite striking out a ridiculous 46 times in three games, the Tigers managed to claim the final two games of the series with some late innings heroics, and are giving off their patented, weird early season run, vibes. We’ll take it.
One of the key predictions for your 2020 Detroit Tigers, was that a fast start could completely change the complexion of the season. Despite being consistently picked and projected to finish the year as a lowly bottom feeder once again, a compressed schedule and a host of factors from COVID-19 cases, players being a little rushed to prepare, and an expanded playoff format of 16 teams, all say that anything could happen if the Tigers start strong and decide to go all-in by using their top prospect talent in Toledo to boost the roster as the season progresses.
