The Tigers' second half schedule.
from bybtb

39 of the Tigers remaining 74 games are against teams that are .500 or better. Worse, many of the teams below .500 including the White Sox, Rangers, Blue Jays, Red Sox, Mariners and Indians are likely much better than their current records indicate.

The Tigers schedule in the second half appears to be devoid of sellers. It is possible that the Rangers, Indians or White Sox could sell, but with the second wildcard and the current clustered standings (no team is more than eight games out of the second wildcard spot).
 
July 17 in Tigers and mlb history:

1922 - At Boston, Ty Cobb gets five hits (and a walk) in a game for the 4th time this year, setting an American League mark. His previous 5-hit contests were on May 7th, July 7th, and July 12th. Only Willie Keeler has done it before. The Tigers roar, 16 - 7. overcoming a 5 - 0 deficit after one inning.

1955: Earl Torgeson of the Tigers steals home in the 10th to beat the Yankees 6 - 5.

1960 - Al Kaline draws four walks in four plate appearances.
