The Tigers are 40 games over .500 (76-36) and have a 10 game lead over the White Sox and a 10 1/2 game lead over the Twins.
So, with 112 games played, let's examine the remaining 50:
Home/Road: 27/23
Toughest stretch: in short, they're in it, but if they can survive August they're in pretty good shape. Look at the rest of the month:
- 8/8-8/9: Twins
- 8/11-8/13: at White Sox
- 8/14-8/16: at Red Sox
- 8/17-8/20: Rangers
- 8/21-8/24: White Sox
- 8/25-8/27: at Indians
- 8/29-8/31: at Yankees
The schedule lightens up in September/October as 17 of their final 28 games are at home. Of those 17 home games, 11 are with Baltimore, Texas, Seattle, and Kansas City (the others: 3 versus the Angels and 3 versus a fading Toronto squad). However, 7 of the final 11 road games are in Minnesota and Chicago (the others: 3 in Kansas City and 1 random game in Baltimore, which is sandwiched between the 3 in Chicago and the 3 in KC).
