After today's game against the Sox ace Quintana, who has the 2nd best ERA in the AL, the Tigers have 7 games left against first place CLE and 3 more with defending champion KC.
Next up are 3 games against the Orioles, who are 1 game ahead of them in the wild card race.
So far, they're
1-11 vs CLE
6-10 vs KC
1-3 vs BAL
1-11 vs CLE
6-10 vs KC
1-3 vs BAL
Their other remaining games are 7 against the Twins and 3 against the Braves. They're 10-2 against the Twins, and have not played the 54-85 Braves.
So, they have 14 tough games, and10 where they should be heavily favored.
With 13 remaining games head to head against teams they are contending with, they have an opportunity to control their own destiny, but I have a hard time seeing this as a favorable schedule.
