The Tigers have played well against over .500 teams, for the most part at 26-21 .554-- now, it's high time they just playing more consistently vs the non-contenders they have to this point.

Yeah the Tigers are 4th in the AL in winning percentage against teams above .500 (behind the Rangers, Orioles, and Red Sox), while they are 8th against teams below .500.

Tigers are actually one of only 3 teams in the AL whose winning percentage drops when playing a team below .500 compared to games in which the opponent is over .500. The other two are the Rangers and Orioles, worst of which is the Orioles whose winning percentage drops from .589 against teams .500 or better to just .486 against teams worse than .500. As for the rest of the AL, in ranking of who takes advantage most teams below .500:

1. Astros +.364
2. Indians +.310
3. Athletics +.267
4. Twins +.218
5. Yankees +.188
6. Rays +.159
7. Blue Jays +.091
8. Angels +.088
9. Royals +.075
10. White Sox +.063
11. Red Sox +.055
12. Mariners +.021
13. Tigers -.008
14. Rangers -.079
15. Orioles -.103

Better get their act together because they got a crapload of games against the chi sox coming up....their last 20 games are pretty easy on paper also

Well, what we're learning here is that it hasn't made a difference what team logo is on the jersey.. it's simply that time of the year for the Tigers. I mean, you look at what they've done in August and September of the past couple years, and you ask yourself, has it mattered who they were playing then?? No?? Okay, so what difference does it make now?? What I've learned is that the Tigers turn into the exorcist this time of year, and that's all there is to it.

I don't expect the Tigers to be "afraid" of anyone right now, they are dealing. Should be a great series in early September when Detroit comes to Boston

The season is flying by!

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Those numbers are somewhat deceptive because right now the Dodgers is the hottest team in baseball. They came one game short of tying the best road wins that has stood since 1907

 

[da55bums]

got to agree the Tigers have done great in Aug and Sept and the first week of Oct...its november they have trouble with..must be concerned about the kids going trick or treating...but love family before work...
