I want the Tigers to lose out, and nab the #1 or #2 draft pick, who cares if they lose 100, instead of 99-98 games?

I let it play out.. Hard for me to hope they lose but I don't see them winning a game though.

The Tigers inched closer to receiving the No. 1 pick in next year’s MLB Draft with a loss to the Royals on Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium.

In Kinsler’s 600th plate appearance of the season, he hit an RBI single in the top of the third inning. With the plate appearance, his $11 million contract option for 2018 automatically vested. The Tigers were likely going to pick up Kinsler’s option anyway. They also likely will receive strong enough trade offers in the off-season to trade him. Kinsler’s RBI single opened the scoring.

For a third consecutive start, Sanchez showed signs that he could, indeed, help a team next season in a starting rotation role. Sanchez coughed up the lead, allowing runs in the fourth and fifth innings, but they were his only runs allowed of the game. He allowed seven hits over six innings, with two walks and six strikeouts. Sanchez has allowed four runs on 16 hits in his past three starts, spanning 18 innings.
Sanchez (3-6) took the loss, allowing two runs and seven hits while striking out six over six innings. Sanchez is winless in eight starts since an Aug. 1 victory over the New York Yankees.

The Tigers only tallied five hits, and they grounded into five double plays,
tying their season high on Sept. 3.

The Tigers are speeding toward a couple of dubious achievements; one irredeemable, the other could eventually produce a positive gain.

They lost their eighth straight baseball game Tuesday – 2-1 to the Royals.
They have 95 losses with five games left (they are an abysmal 4-21 in September), bringing their first 100-loss season since 2003 in clear sight.

ROARS
Anibal Sanchez – A quality start. Six innings, two ruins, six strikeouts, one walk. A nice start to give teams something to think about as they look at lower tier pitchers over the winter.

HISSES
Double plays – Five of them to be precise. Killed every rally tigers tried to start.
