The Detroit Tigers are definitely better than people expected them to be. A lot of that came from them hitting a ton of home runs early in the season, but after hitting 15 home runs in their first seven games of the season (and really not doing much else offensively), they’ve hit just 39 in their last 39 games, including just 11 in 14 September games. And they’re 4-10 now in September, so that sort of tracks for them. They’re 13-4 when they hit multiple home runs in a game and 7-22 when they hit 0 or 1. The Royals, while not a lot better, are 12-25 with 0 or 1 home runs, so the Tigers are especially bad.
