Detroit Tigers MLB Betting Odds
Following four consecutive playoff seasons from 2011 through 2014, the Detroit Tigers have fallen upon hard times. Detroit is coming off its fourth straight losing season and has only one winning campaign in the ledger since 2015. To their credit, the Tigers admitted to all that they would be remaking the entire roster. Problematic is that patience is running out with their fans and gamblers. Detroit has opened as one of the biggest long shots on the board for the 2021 season. Manager AJ Hinch arrives with a discredited but winning reputation during his time with the Houston Astros. But Hinch doesn’t inherit the firepower that he enjoyed in H-Town.

2021 Season Preview
For 2020 the Detroit Tigers finished 23-35 and dead last in the American League Central. MLB metrics are indicative of a team lacking any identifiable strengths. Detroit ranked 22nd for run production, 25th for OPS, 24th for home runs, 26th for stolen bases, 30th for staff earned run average, 23rd for WHIP, 29th for quality starts, and 25th for the bullpen. The only positive from 2020 is that fans were not allowed into Comerica Park to watch the debacle.
Detroit was inactive during the offseason, so any improvement would come from the same core of players that put together the miserable numbers of 2020. Detroit ranks 24th in MLB for payroll.
In 2017 manager AJ Hinch led the Houston Astros to the only World Series title in team history. Hinch posted a .560 win percentage at Houston with four playoff appearances in five years.
Designated hitter Miguel Cabrera is the Tigers marquee man and was a key component of their winning days before the roster was blown up. Cabrera is a seven-time All-Star and five-time AL Silver Slugger Award winner.
Left fielder Robbie Grossman arrives from the Oakland A’s and is the projected leadoff man. He played for Hinch at Houston in 2015. Grossman hit ten home runs in 57 games last year.
Left hander Matthew Boyd is the number one starter for the Tigers. Last year he was lit up with a 3-7 record and a 6.71 earned run average.
