AL Central
It may have been fair to ask whether a 31-13 finish in 2024 was a fluke. But now the Detroit Tigers (35-20) have gone an MLB-best 66-33 since Aug. 11 of last year.
The Tigers are well-rounded with an lineup that ranks second in O-TRACR and a pitching staff that ranks fifth in raw value. Our model is convinced, giving them the third-highest probability (20.0%) of reaching the World Series behind the Yankees (39.1%) and Cubs (27.3%).
