Go big or Go Home: Tigers take on Mariners in game 5 of ALDS

By Calvin Little

The Tigers are headed back to a rainy Seattle Washington for an ALDS game 5. The winner advances to take on the Toronto Blue Jays, and the loser is sent home to pack their bags. It's going to be an electric game, with 2 teams who want this win so bad. Hopefully the Tigers can prevail.

So far, the Tigers strategy this season has been to play Skubal, wait 3 games, and play him again. It's what they did for this series (sort of) and it seems to be working for them. He'll be pitching again tonight in hopes of securing a Tigers win, but with an offense that's struggled with leaving runners on base, that could leave Skubal with a shaking head.

It's really going to come down to which team plays complimentary baseball, and which team has that extra 110% effort to give. The Tigers have been here before, and it was ugly. Now is the chance to change the narrative, change the story, and defy destiny. Usually it's Detroit vs their opponent, but today, it's Detroit...VS EVERYBODY!
