If the Tigers do lose what was once a 15.5-game lead over the Guardians, where does that put them in the Wild Card race? Tigers on the brink of losing AL Central division lead — and might not even fall into a Wild Card spotThrough play on Sunday, there are three teams in the race for the last Wild Card spot.

But if Houston gets hot, that would leave them, the Tigers, and the Red Sox jockeying for the Nos. Hope is low and fans might need to temper expectations, but if the team can at least muddle their way into a Wild Card spot, they can recover a shred of their dignity.
