00:00Let's switch it over to the American League because what year is it?

00:03Is Sparky Anderson, the manager of the Detroit Tigers,

00:07they lead the American League at 46 wins,

00:11two and a half games clear of the New York Yankees,

00:13who are all losers of their past three games.

00:15Detroit Tigers have lost their past two as well,

00:17but still holding on up top, which is crazy.

00:19Followed by the Yankees, the Astros, and the Rays in the standings here.

00:22If we look at the odds, the Yankees at a 2-1 price here to win.

00:26You take a look at the Tigers, plus 290.

00:27The Astros, coming out of nowhere, it feels like here in 2025,

00:31after being, it feels like, buried early in the season,

00:33they're now in third place in the odds market at a 6-1 price.

00:36It feels really top-heavy right now, but the heaviest team, the Detroit Tigers.

00:42How about that?

00:44Listen, they were a very public vet preseason to run the tables

00:51and win the Central and win the pennant and yada, yada, yada.

00:55And the reality is, this team has been fortunate enough

00:59to have one of the weakest schedules to date, Donnie.

01:02And it's not their fault.

01:03You only play the teams that are in front of you.

01:05But the reality is, outside of Scooble, I'm not buying this Detroit team.

01:11And not even so much pitching-wise,

01:13I'm not buying them offensively either here.

01:16I think the Tigers are a sinking ship at some point.

01:19They will come back down to reality.

01:21I don't think they'll be there come September

01:24when we're talking about the top teams in the American League.
