Detroit Tigers 2006 Betting Preview
By http://www.card-game-poker.com/

There is one thing at least that the Detroit Tigers have proven that they do fairly well over the past 7 seasons. They have been able to get their sticks going against lefties in their home ball park. Last season, Detroit won 10 of 14 against teams outside their division when facing a lefty in their home park, and they won 16 of 26 games overall against non-division teams throwing lefties at them.

Detroit has made some progress over the last few years, but the Tigers aren’t showing any signs of making major moves with in the division. They totaled just 55 wins in 2002 and dropped to a pathetic 43 victories in 2003, but they improved nearly 30 games, winning 72 in 2004. They were unable to build on their 72 win campaign last season as they plateaued, reaching just 71 victories.

As you might expect based on their success against lefties, you should strongly consider going against the Tigers when they are facing righties as they

were just 48-70 in 2005.

Despite another disappointing season, Detroit actually finished 15 games ahead of last place Kansas City. They do boast the best catcher in the league in Ivan Rodriguez, but they lack a complimentary pitcher. Although, their left handers, such as Kenny Rogers, may have some success within the division as Chicago and Cleveland have both had trouble with lefties. Sluggers Ordonez and Young should have decent seasons for the Tigers at the plate. All in all, I can’t be too optimistic. They’ll be competing with Kansas City for second to last place in the division.

Take advantage of their deficiency against righties, and watch to see if the Tigers continue to feast on non-division lefties.
