The Detroit Tigers are demonstrating an elevated performance in the 2025 MLB season, building on last year’s surprising playoff run. With a strong start of 18-12, they’ve showcased exceptional pitching, highlighted by 2024 AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal and a robust bullpen, ranking third and fourth in ERA respectively. While their offense may lack power compared to other contenders, players like Kerry Carpenter and Spencer Torkelson have contributed significantly, allowing Detroit to rise as a formidable team in the American League.
