Only somewhat-educated guesses. I’m just throwing them out there. Feel free to ridicule me and/or add your own.

World Series: Tigers over Mets
I live in Ann Arbor right now. I am in the midst of a massive job hunt. If I get a job and move from the area, you can make book on the Tigers. Since I moved from New England, the Sox, Pats and UConn Huskies have all brought it home.
I’m the jinx.

They’re a paper tiger unless they get another bat or two. Using Todd Jones less could help too.

I have no comment on your AL pick.

Wow. I am a long suffering Tigers fan (I remember what the Doyle Alexander trade meant to the team), and your prediction made my jaw hit the floor. There is no way the Tigers don’t flame out in the first round. No Way.

Tigers collapse in the second half and Minny gets the AL Wild Card.

are these predictions or hopes? because, in a perfect world, the whitesox would burn and die, and minn and det would move on.

prediction - although I’m not a ChiSox fan (I bleed cubbie blue), I think that Minny’s pitching is too strong and if they add another bat to complement Mauer - look out. You could also replace Tigers with White Sox in my previous statement. The Sox pitching seems to be barely hanging on - it’s nothing like it was last year.

As a Tigers fan, I can say that a mere playoff appearance would be the equivalent of a World Series win for most other teams.
I don’t think Minny will get in. I wish they would overtake the White Sox, but they have been playing out of their minds and are still 9 games back from the WC.
The Tigers will end the season with at least 100 wins if they play the second half at 4 games over .500. If they do that and still don’t make the playoffs, I will personally hunt down and kill any fans of whatever AL West team makes it.

Man, seeing so many people giving Detroit a chance makes me, as a Royals fan, reconsider my homicidal rage I go through nearly every night… the Tigers were almost as bad once as the Royals are now…. I think

Note I mean the first definition.
Here’s what I found: Mets over Yankees.
Ka-boom!

The Tigers will lose the division the day hell freezes over. They are damn near winning 70% of their games. Tigers over Cards in 6.
