The Tigers season in numbers

The Tigers scored 723 runs and allowed 652, a run differential of +71. That works out to 4.46 runs scored and 4.02 allowed per game, against a league average of 4.48 for each side. Based on those runs, a typical team would have won about 89 games, so the Tigers finished 13 wins below that mark. A gap that size for the Tigers usually comes from one-run games and bullpen results, and it tends to shrink over a full season. The luck table ranks every club on the same measure.
The Tigers were 42-39 at Comerica Park and 34-47 away from it. That home edge is wider than most, so the ballpark matters more than usual when the Tigers are priced at home. Against left-handed starters they were 19-29, against right-handers 57-57, and they closed the regular season 4-6 over the last ten games, losing the final game.
Recent form: the last 10 games
In their last 10 regular-season games the Tigers went 4-6, scoring 4 and allowing 4.5 runs per game. 4 of those 10 games finished above 9 total runs, 2 were decided by a single run, and the widest margin was 9-2 at home against WSH. The chart plots each of those Tigers games, runs scored above the line and runs allowed below it.

How to read the Tigers numbers
Putting the Tigers numbers to use: the run differential and expected wins say more about team quality than the raw record, the home and road split shows how much Comerica Park helps, and the last-ten totals show whether recent Tigers games have run high or low. For Tigers totals, the over/under guide explains the market step by step, and the odds calculator turns any price into an implied probability. None of these Tigers figures predicts a single game, and no bet is ever a sure thing.
Comerica Park, home of the Tigers
The Detroit Tigers play their home games at Comerica Park in Detroit, MI, at an elevation of 600 feet. Games there averaged 8.15 total runs, an index of 0.91 against the league average, which makes Comerica Park one of the tougher places to score. At Comerica Park, wind direction and temperature change how far the ball carries, so the game-day forecast matters. The ballpark scoring page ranks all 30 parks.
