I think this would be a great spot for Tigers -1 (really, really going to push we add that and NRFI/YRFI in 2027) but in lieu of not having that will go this route. I'll take an early win and take my ball and go home -- yeah right. I'm already looking at the Liverpool-Sunderland friendly tonight from Nashville. Detroit's Casey Mize has a 2.50 home ERA. The Tigers have won three straight and six of eight since the break. They aren't selling now. The Royals definitely are.
