The Detroit Tigers overcame a 0.2% chance to advance to the postseason for the first time in 10 years.
Detroit won the Chicago White Sox 4-1 at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan, on the 28th (Korea Standard Time), winning six consecutive games. With the victory, Detroit secured the American League wild card with an 86-74 winning rate of .538, confirming its advance to the postseason.먹튀검증
Detroit, which has not won a World Series championship since its 1984 World Series championship, had its heyday from 2011 to 2014 by banking on strong starters including Justin Verlander (Houston), Max Scherzer (Texas), Rick Fossello, Duck Fister and Anibal Sanchez. It has advanced to the postseason for four consecutive years and advanced to the World Series in 2012, but lost to San Francisco to remain the runner-up.
Since then, Detroit has had a long dark period. It failed to advance to the postseason for the ninth consecutive year from 2015 to 2023. During the period, Detroit recorded only 579 wins and 772 losses with a .429 winning rate. In 2019, the team recorded 47 wins and 114 losses and a .292 winning rate, the second-most loss since 2003 (43 wins and 119 losses and a .265 winning rate).
He got off to a bad start this season, too. He performed fairly well with 17 wins and 13 losses between March and April, but posted sluggish performance with 21 wins and 33 losses between May and June, as he seemed to be moving away from fall baseball this year as well. He rebounded to some extent with 14 wins and 11 losses in July, but it was hard to imagine that he could play in fall baseball until mid-August. According to the baseball statistics website FanGraph, Detroit had only a 0.2% chance of advancing to the postseason through August 12. At that time, Detroit ranked eighth in the American League wild card with a 55-63 winning rate of .466, and was a whopping 10 games behind the third in the wild card that advanced to the postseason.
However, Detroit made a great comeback in the second half. It finished August with 17 wins and 11 losses and gained momentum in September, recording 17 wins and 6 losses. Detroit, which tied Minnesota for third in the American League wild card on the 20th, has finally secured its postseason berth with six consecutive wins.
Detroit's miracle was possible thanks to the core pitching and hitting players such as Tarik Skubal and Riley Green. Skubal is most likely to achieve the triple crown this season with 18 wins, four losses and a 2.39 228 strikeouts in 31 games (192 innings). Green led the batting average of 265 (134 hits in 505 times at bat) in 135 games with 24 homers, 74 RBIs, 82 runs, four steals and OPS.836.
"Rescue pitcher Bo Briceke said, 'I was going to a friend's wedding. He already contacted me and told me that he understood.' Rookie Justin-Henry Malloy was planning to visit the Dominican Republic with his girlfriend. Kerry Carpenter and his wife were scheduled to visit the hospital to have their first child. People who don't have grand plans must have had plans," he said, stressing that even Detroit players themselves did not expect Detroit to advance to the postseason.
Referring to the game between the Detroit Lions and the Seattle Seahawks a day after Detroit's final regular-season game, Skubal said, "I can bet a lot of players were going to watch the Lionesses' Monday Night Football game. A lot of players were going to watch it. Things have changed. And that's really cool. It's the result everyone wanted anyway."
Director A.J. Hinch also said, "I think we need to think about making a movie. It sounds like a lot of fun. But the sense of accomplishment that I have now is incomparable to anything else," in expressing his delight in advancing to the postseason.
