Could the Detroit Tigers Be Quietly Poised to Dominate the American League?

If there is one area in which the Tigers might not be as strong as some other contenders in the American League, it’s probably their lineup. By no means is their offense isn’t bad, but they don’t have as much power as the lineups of, say, the Red Sox or the Yankees.
At the same time, that hasn’t stopped the Tigers, who are 18-12 entering play Wednesday, from scoring runs and racking up April wins. While the offense might not be particularly high-octane or high-powered, they’ve gotten production from up and down their lineup. Detroit is currently eighth in the American League in home runs and fifth in slugging percentage, but this team has the second-best run differential (+37) in the AL, behind only the Yankees (+53).
