The Detroit Tigers are off to their best start in years under new manager Jim Leyland. They’re currently in first place in the American League Central, one game over the second-place Chicago White Sox.
This is probably the best baseball the Tigers will play this season. As well as they’re playing, they’re not likely to improve over and beyond this, and they certainly cannot continue to win at this pace for the remainder of this season. At some point, probably July, maybe sooner, they’ll cool off and come back down to earth.
As well as the White Sox have played so far, they aren’t playing their best baseball yet. They’ve shown glimpses of their superior play and dominance (the first two games against the Cubs last weekend, for example), but they’re still working out the kinks in their bullpen and their starting rotation has been shaky at times. Still, the Sox are only one game out of first place. Their best baseball is yet to come.
