Can't control what Minnesota does, but the Tigers have a series left vs. KC. Have to hope they sweep that series and that KC and Boston continue to lose games. That's their only chance.

Days Of Roar Tigers Podcast: Playoffs? Here's what must happen for Detroit Tigers to win wild-card race in American League. 61 minutes.

The Detroit Tigers continue their winnings ways, clinching 15 of their last 21 games. Coming out of Labor Day, the Tigers are five games out of the third and final wild-card spot in the American League, looking up at the Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins. What will it take for the Tigers to surpass one of those teams? Regardless, does the wild-card race change anything about how the Tigers plan to approach the offseason? To get to this point, the Tigers utilized their pitching depth to win games in August despite having just two traditional starters, thanks to the strategy created by president of baseball operations Scott Harris. Manager A.J. Hinch explains the role of the bulk reliever, as well as how it helps the Tigers win games. As for one of the starters, Tarik Skubal is running away with the AL Cy Young Award, but how dominant has he been compared to pitchers of the past? (Hint: It's one of the best seasons in nearly 60 years.)

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

Don’t look now but the Tigers have picked up the pace during the 2nd half of the 2024 season.
Despite trading off 4 veteran players at the end of July, they have put up above .500 play for both July and August. Through Monday’s games, they now have the 16th best record in MLB.
During those 2 months, they’ve won 6 series while only losing 3.
They’ve done this despite missing most of their starting rotation. Jack Flaherty got traded, Kenta Maeda got demoted and both Casey Mize and Reese Olson went on the IL. That left only Tarik Skubal. The Tigers promoted rookie Keider Montero to provide a 2nd SP and filled the other 3 slots using a bullpen/opener formula.
This strategy resulted in the Tigers putting up a 3.06 ERA for the month of August, 2nd only to the Houston Astros.
But which one of these results surprised you the most? That the Tigers are playing meaningful games in late summer or that their pitching strategy is holding its own?

Which performance by the team has surprised you the most?

1. Regularly winning series, playing above .500.

2. The success of 2 starting pitchers +bullpen games.
