With both of their playoff hopes on life support, the Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs start an extremely important series on Tuesday night.
They were written off after the trade deadline, parting ways with several veterans to bring back assets for the future, but stopped short of a full-blown teardown by holding onto their ace, Tarik Skubal.
On Sunday, Detroit wrapped up a brutal 25-game stretch that included contests solely against teams over the .500 mark. The start was rough, as they lost nine out of 13, but. They are still nine games back in the Wild Card, but the Tigers are going to be playing some semi-important baseball down the stretch.This series will have a playoff-like feel as the loser can likely kiss their slim playoff hopes goodbye.
