The Detroit Tigers are playing at a level that could take them deep into the postseason.

Even with over 100 games left in the regular season, baseball fans in the Motor City have to be excited about the Tigers’ possibilities this fall. With a modest two-game winning streak at hand, there are many positive signs that the Tigers’ organization is trending in the right direction: toward a World Series appearance for the first time since 2012. The Detroit fan base is clamoring for a claim to the Commissioner’s Trophy, presented to the winner of the World Series, something they haven’t reveled in since 1984.
