Editor's note: After a busy first half of the 2016 MLB season, Joe Peta takes a look at both the good and bad for all 30 teams to find overvalued and undervalued clubs from a betting perspective. He also projects each team's second half. This is the entry for the Detroit Tigers.
Records reflect all games played through Sunday. All statistics are through each team's 81st game. Season-to-date pricing adds the implied win probability from the money line of each team's first 81 games and converts it to 162 games.
Detroit Tigers
Vegas projection: 80.5 wins
My projection: 78 wins
Current record/pace: 46-43 (84-win pace)
Season-to-date pricing: 79.8 wins
What's gone right: Although the season didn't start that way, Detroit ended up riding its unexpectedly high-scoring offense to a credible .500 showing by the end of the first half of the season. The Tigers may not have the type of complete roster needed to catch the Indians or challenge for the wild card, but they are a fun team to watch.
