00:00Let's get to the hottest team in the American League wildcard

00:05chase. The Tigers keep winning baseball yesterday at home in

00:11the Motor City seven to one over the Rays. They were only

00:14at minus 122 money line. Favorite total of eight and a

00:18half stays barely under Tarek was great in game one. The

00:23bats delivering yesterday. Parker Meadows got things

00:26started with a home run in the home half of the first. Spencer

00:29Torkelson a couple of RB eyes and a two run shot later in the

00:33game to extend the lead for Detroit and add some insurance

00:37DRS. The Tigers have won four straight seven of their last

00:40eight. They are 22 and nine since August 22nd when they sat

00:46four games below 562 and 66. The Tigers are the hottest team

00:52in the bigs entering the postseason playing great

00:55baseball too and yesterday. I thought the angle was correct

00:58where the Detroit Tigers had a good chance to win and they did

01:00win seven to one, but I like the team total over for the

01:03Tampa Bay Rays. Now, I've only got one run, but here's how you

01:06know Detroit is already in playoff mode and sometimes it's

01:08very hard to cap in playoffs because the kitchen sink gets

01:11thrown at you and meaning Carter Montero is not a great

01:14pitcher. He goes two and two thirds innings four hits gives

01:17up one earned run with two walks the minute he started the

01:19struggle band. They didn't go well. We gotta get you through

01:21five or six innings to save the bullpen for the rest of the

01:24year. He gets yanked immediately and the bullpen

01:26comes in and shuts it down the rest of the way they leave

01:29Montero and maybe it is three or four runs scored over the

01:32first five to six innings for the Tampa Bay Rays, but I love

01:35the fact that Detroit is like you know what there is no

01:37tomorrow unless we keep winning baseball games and we'll pull

01:40those pitchers early just like you'll see in the early rounds

01:43of the Major League Baseball playoffs. Love what I see out of

01:45Detroit. They are locked and loaded right now headed towards

01:48the playoffs.
