Baseball betting fortunes have had a dramatic turn with the Detroit Tigers as they lost their first 6 games with the baseball odds after the All Star break. 
The losing streak with the baseball odds put them 3.5 games behind first place Chicago, although baseball wagering expectations at the sportsbook were high for Detroit at the break.
The American league Central Division competition looked to be wide open with the Detroit Tigers, Chicago White Sox, and Minnesota Twins all seeking to take the championship. Last year Detroit and Minnesota evened up for the top in the regular season with the Twins busting the Detroit Tigers in a 1-game playoff to settle the concern.
Some oddsmakers would state that they were not a legitimate quality contender as they ranked just 18th overall in the major leagues for run production while position 23rd overall for staff earned run average, and that Detroit was winning with mirrors in the first place.
As the offense landed more than 3 runs just one time while the pitching staff held the opposition to 4 runs or less just two times, both aspects of the game were the difficulty in the slump.
“It probably will be like last year,” said Detroit manager Jim Leyland. “We all will do pretty good, then flounder around a little bit, then do pretty good. Then at some point – hopefully it will be us – somebody will probably make a run, kind of how Minnesota did. That will probably end up deciding it.” One difficulty for Detroit in the immediate future is coming up with a replacement for the hurt Brandon Inge as the third baseman will be out until close to Labor Day with a broken hand after being hit by a pitch.
During Leyland’s tenure, Detroit has had a similar MLB gambling pattern in which they had a .500 or better track record at the All Star break only to play losing baseball in the season’s 2nd half.
“It’s probably different every year,” said Leyland. “Two of those years, it wasn’t what we wanted, but we still went to the World Series (2006) and played the 163rd game for the Championship (2009).” The team’s baseball betting struggles after the break is partially because of Detroit All Star first baseman Miguel Cabrera, who took a lot of the blame. He went 2-14 in a series at Cleveland in which the Tigers were swept.
“I didn’t do my job,” said Cabrera. “What I and we need to do is look in the mirror, turn it around, play more relaxed and make something happen.”
