After a lackluster start to the season, it seems that Jim Leyland has the Tigers on track racking up victory after victory this week.

Playing the Twins lately can right the ship for a lot of teams. The golf ball sized hale that they encountered while in Minneapolis couldn’t deter the streak that they have accumulated. The Tigers put nineteen runs up on the board in those two mid-week games alone. The four game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays about a week ago was also impressive since it was on the road.

Along with the Red Sox and Pirates, the Blue Jays are on the horizon once again. Inter-league play was a novelty when it first started, but now the aberration during the season when the two leagues collide really is inequitable. While the Pirates have exceeded expectations thus far, it isn’t really fair that the Tigers are fortunate enough to play them while another squad has to take on the Phillies. The only positive that comes from the second scenario is that ownership can plan on a bigger gate from the taking on the defending World Series participant.
