Tigers’ Playoff Hopes Hang by a Thread | Detroit Tigers News

The Detroit Tigers are clinging to playoff hope with a shaky bullpen and a fading momentum, but they’ve got one last shot: a crucial series against the last-place Royals. After dropping two tough series — including one against division-leading Chicago — the team’s pitching woes continue to haunt them, especially in close games where they’ve lost 22 of 34 one-run contests. With Riley Greene sidelined and a 61-66 record putting them five games back in the division and just 1.5 games out of the wild card, this weekend’s showdown could be make-or-break. ESPN ranks them 14th, but with the AL not as stacked as other leagues, there’s still a path forward — if they can ignite a serious surge before the season ends.
