The Tiggers are still 2.5 back on the Yanks

Even after a series sweep of the Twinkies this weekend the Tigers haven't been able to gain much ground on the Yankees in the Wild Card race. They did pick up 1 game, but are still sitting at 2.5 games back with only a couple weeks left in the season. The Tigers engagement announcements for this week will be against the Cleveland Indians who lead them in the Divisional playoff race at 4.5 games. This 3 game series could be crucial to their playoff hopes. A sweep of the Indians would put them just 1.5 games back in the division and hope to just get in the playoffs the old fashioned way. Winning the division. The Tigers have won 8 of their last 10 and seem to be playing for their playoff lives now. Better late then never I guess. Here's to hoping they can make some ground up this week and get back to the Show.
