Detroit Tigers 2026 Betting Preview: Are They Getting Too Much Love?

Dave Ross and Jensen Lewis reveal their projections and betting values for the Detroit Tigers as they head into the 2026 season. Despite strong odds to win the AL Central, Detroit is coming off a historic late-season collapse—and there are real concerns about whether this roster can sustain success over a full season.  Dave and Jensen analyze the upside and risks of a pitching staff led by Tarik Skubal and Framber Valdez, while questioning the durability of veterans like Justin Verlander. On the offensive side, they point to inconsistencies in a lineup featuring Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson, and Gleyber Torres—plus a key red flag: high strikeout rates.
