Detroit Tigers Betting Preview
The Detroit Tigers were right on the cusp of being a .500 team on the year in 2021, but fell short of that and the postseason. This year, they will come in with higher expectations, as they made a number of significant moves in the offseason that they hope will make things easier on them. Combined with some exciting young players that were already on the team, the Tigers could once again find themselves in contention in the AL Central.

Key Additions: Eduardo Rodríguez, Javier Báez, Tucker Barnhart, Andrew Chafin, Michael Pineda
Key Departures: Matthew Boyd
The Tigers added to their roster in a commendable way this offseason, as they improved their pitching and hitting in meaningful ways. Javy Baez is the standout member of the group of players they brought in, and he should be able to help an offense that could not help the Tigers get on the right side of their run differential. The addition of Pineda, meanwhile, gives them a starter with some upside to help a bottom-half pitching staff as well.
Offensive Stats
| 2021 (Rank) | 2020 (Rank) | |
|---|---|---|
| Batting Average (BA) | .242 (T-15th) | .245 (15th) |
| On-Base Percentage (OBP) | .308 (24th) | .303 (28th) |
| Slugging Percentage (SLG) | .399 (22nd) | .397 (20th) |
| Weighted On-Base Avg (wOBA) | .306 (T-22nd) | .303 (27th) |
| Weighted Runs Created Plus (wRC+) | 93 (T-18th) | 89 (25th) |
| Batting Avg on Balls In Play (BABIP) | .300 (5th) | .314 (6th) |
| Strikeout Percentage (K%) | 25.3% (3rd worst) | 27.3% (30th) |
| Walk Percentage (BB%) | 8.2% (T-21st) | 7.1% (30th) |
The Tigers showed some potential in their lineup last year with young players like Akil Baddoo, but it was clear that they lacked the consistent pop across their lineup to truly get things rolling. Adding Baez will help alleviate that concern, as will some added experience for players like Baddoo this year. This team strikes out too often, but their aggression is good as they try to climb the American League ladder.
Pitching Stats
| 2021 (Rank) | 2020 (Rank) | |

| Earned Run Average (ERA) | 4.32 (17th) | 5.63 (30th) |

| Adj. Fielding Independent Pitching (xFIP) | 4.65 (26th) | 4.85 (25th) |
| Strikeout Percentage (K%) | 20.4% (26th) | 20.4% (28th) |
| Walk Percentage (BB%) | 9.3% (24th) | 8.8% (14th) |
| Left On Base Percentage (LOB%) | 72.6% (T-15th) | 68.7% (26th) |
The pitching for the Tigers was not good enough last year, and they moved to address it this offseason. No pitcher had more than eight wins for the Tigers a season ago, and they went in a couple of different directions at the closer spot. Adding Pineda has the potential to help if he can stay healthy, as the starting pitching for the Tigers is going to be a significant indicator of how the team performs.
Positives & Negatives
The biggest positive for the Detroit Tigers this season is that they are going to improve their hitting with the addition of Baez, especially from a power perspective. Having multiple bats that can consistently deliver power will be important for this team going forward, assuming that both Baez and Baddoo can create their own version of the Killer B’s.
On the negative side, the Tigers are likely still a little ways away from truly possessing a roster that can contend for the division and a playoff spot. Their pitching likely does not rise enough with the acquisition of Pineda, even if they should be slightly better than they were in 2021. Balancing the slight improvement of the Tigers with their overall long-term goals will be tough for this team.
Detroit Tigers Pick & Prediction: Under 78.5
The Tigers are going to be a little better than they were a season ago, which does not bode well for them in a division where other teams also improved. The White Sox are still a very good team, while the Twins made some incredible maneuvers to make their roster much better than it was last year. The under for the Tigers is the play as they fall just a bit short of everything the Twins did as they look to move up in the Central.
