The Detroit Tigers have begun Spring Training workouts, and the predictions for how they’ll fare this season are rolling in.
Unfortunately for fans in the Motor City, our baseball team isn’t projected to challenge for the World Series, much less the Central Division crown. Here are what some of the experts are predicting for the 2017 season.

So Vegas believes that based on how the team addressed the off-season, or lack thereof rather, they will finish in the same scenario as last year – missing the postseason on the final weekend of the regular season.
Elsewhere around the world of projecting baseball records for 2017, according to Baseball Prospectus, the Tigers are projected to finish 78-84, while USA Today has them finishing 85-77.
