Detroit Tigers Record 36-41 (.468) Fourth place in AL Central (14.0 GB)
Philadelphia Phillies Record 51-26 (.662) First place in NL East
The Tigers have had one cleat stuck in the quagmire of “rebuilding” since 2017, the year they traded away Justin Verlander and a slew of other big names. Since then they have not posted a winning record (reminiscent of the 2013-2020 Phillies). During this current era the lows faced by the Tigers’ franchise are as deep and dark as a team can dive, dipping to a staggering 47-114 in 2019.
