7.5 games up

Another win, 81-45, no losing season. Wow. This is so totally different than '84. Back then, by the end of April, pretty much everyone knew the Tigers were going to the Series. The only question was by how much they'd win. This time, it's almost like playing a season of MLB 07 and swapping the rosters around - hard to believe they've improved this much in one season. The franchise record for increase in wins between seasons is 30, but that was partly from moving from a 154-game schedule in '60 to a 162-game schedule in '61. Still, that '61 team didn't win the pennant, which gives me pause for thought.

But thinking that three seasons ago, they lost 119 games, and this season, they could win 100 ... wow.
