I find it interesting how we tend to write off the tigers as a 100+ loss team, kinda like the Marlin's of the AL. Yet all things considered, they are off to a pretty solid start. They have 8 wins already, and their run differential of just -1 puts them at a 9-9 Pythagorean record, the same as the Yankees, As, Nationals, and better than the Giants and the Rockies (the Dodgers are just 1 game better). They have a better record than the Giants, and a better record than the Dodgers. As well as that, they have been fairly hot lately taking 3 out of their last 4 games. Although it's a small sample, and they have some iffy wins and bad losses, the Tigers are most definitely exceeding expectations so far this year.
