1. AL Central race still up for grabs. Justin Upton has been one of the biggest disappointments in baseball after signing as a free agent with the Detroit Tigers, ranking 132nd out of 153 regulars in wOBA while posting his worst numbers since a 43-game stint as a 19-year-old rookie. But the last two games have relieved some of that disappointment, as he hit a three-run home run in the 11th inning on Monday, a day after hitting a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth to beat the Royals. It's been an exciting stretch of wins for the Tigers.
