After winning six straight games from July 4-9, A. J. Hinch's team is almost winless. Detroit has only 3 wins in their last 15 games. The Tigers have taken turns losing the series to the Chicago White Sox, Kansas, Cleveland, Oakland and Minnesota. If Detroit loses to San Diego in the upcoming game, they will lose the sixth straight series.
Tarik Skubal, 7-8 and a 3.88 ERA in 19 starts this season, is Detroit's starting pitcher for Game 3 against San Diego.
San Diego in pursuit of Dodgers
Bob Melvin's team ranks a high No. 4 in the National League standings. However, it's unlikely that such an alignment can satisfy the Padres to the fullest extent. Still, the goal of winning the division for such an ambitious team was never abandoned. It's a slim chance, but it's there. At the moment, San Diego is 11 wins behind the Los Angeles Dodgers, who lead the NL West standings. You can win back that handicap in half a season if you try hard enough.
Yu Darvish will pitch for the Padres in Game 3 in Detroit, 9-4 and a 3.28 ERA in 18 games in this league.
