I don't know, every time I see Doug Glanville on ESPN, he keeps telling me that the White Sox or Indians are going to overtake the Tigers. I know he's not lying.

I think it's silly for the most part. Your offense is so much better than the other two it's not funny and you have Verlander...hands down cy young winner...in fact he's clinched it. Fister was a good pick up to solidify the rotation and Valverde gets the job done, uglyly, but it's done. I think the Tigers will have a decent shot in the post season too with Verlander pitching game 1 in the first series. You'll have way over a 50-50 shot to take a 1-0 lead.

Odds that Josh Tomlin will still be a starter in the major leagues in 2013?

His arm is falling off.

Looks like it, right? Jamie Moyer he has not been the last two starts.

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that Verlander pitches game two of a postseason series.

Tigers have 34 games left. Six game lead on the dreaded White Sox and 6.5 on the Indians. White Sox would have to go 24-12 to catch the Tigers and the Indians 24-11, provided the Tigers can play .500 ball the rest of the way. They're also on their longest streak (winning or losing) since May right now. Anything can happen.
