Tigers Playoff Seed
After posting the best record in baseball since Aug. 11, the Tigers are currently tied with the Minnesota Twins for the final Wild-Card spot. They don’t have the tiebreaker over the Twins or Kansas City Royals, so they will need to finish with more wins down the stretch.
As the 6-seed, they’d travel to the Houston Astros in a best-of-three Wild Card Series.
