The Tigers started the year pretty upbeat. They won their first two games and the opening series at home with Miguel Cabrera popping and Opening Day homer. However, since then the Tigers have entered into something of a tailspin in the young season.
Detroit has lost 6 of their last 7 games, all of which have been against either Cleveland or the Twins, and are currently on a 4-game losing streak. Now that they’ll face their first non-divisional opponent, the Astros, who seem like they should be able to handle the Tigers quite easily. Anything can happen of course, but on paper it seems as though Detroit’s challenges are only growing.
