- The Tigers haven't posted a winning record since 2016.
- Detroit has a win total of 81.5 entering the 2024 season.
After finishing runner-up in the AL Central last year, the Detroit Tigers enter 2024 as a trendy dark horse to win a weak division.
In fact, the Tigers are the most popular MLB odds prediction in the entire division futures market this spring. They haven’t made the playoffs in a decade, but is it finally time for them to end that streak?
Tigers Futures Odds
Win Total: 81.5
AL Central: +350
AL Pennant: +2500
World Series: +6600
Detroit finished nine games behind the Minnesota Twins last year, but MLB betting markets think more highly of this team in 2024.
The Tigers were +3000 to win the division last season.
The Tigers last had a preseason win total this high when they had an over/under of 82.5 in 2017. They finished with 64 wins that year.
Tigers Offseason Moves
Miguel Cabrera has retired after 16 of his 21 MLB seasons with the Tigers. They hope to replace his leadership and production with a mix of veterans and young talent.

| Jack Flaherty | RHP |

| Shelby Miller | RHP |
Departures

| Miguel Cabrera | DH |
| José Cisnero | RHP |
| Eduardo Rodríguez | LHP |
Flaherty and Maeda will start in the rotation behind Tarik Skubal, a popular AL Cy Young odds pick.
After seven years with the St. Louis Cardinals, Flaherty was traded to the Baltimore Orioles last summer. He finished his 2023 campaign with an 8-9 record in 27 starts, posting a 4.99 ERA.
Maeda made 20 starts for the Minnesota Twins last season, recording a 4.23 ERA and 117 strikeouts across 104 1/3 innings of work.
Tigers 2024 Betting Prediction
Prediction: Tigers to record under 81.5 wins (-110)
The Tigers haven’t finished above .500 since 2016, a streak I’m betting will continue this season.
Detroit has finished with fewer than 80 wins in eight of its previous nine seasons since it last made the postseason in 2014.
Projections expect a similar outcome in 2024, with PECOTA projecting 75.2 wins and FanGraphs forecasting 79 victories. Both predictions would have a trendy Tigers team finishing below their season win total.
Even in a weak division, Detroit might still be a year away.
