Win Total – Over/Under
DET Over/Under: 85.5 wins (-115/-105)
Last year, Detroit came into the season with a projected win total of 83.5, and cashed the over by four games, finishing with 87, although their final stretch was certainly rough.
In 2026, the Tigers have gained two whole wins on their preseason line, and even have the over favored this time.
Detroit Tigers American League Central Division Odds: +110
The brutal collapse that Detroit had in the division race last season was undoubtedly a tough watch down the stretch.
Ultimately, landing in second place and ceding home-field advantage in the Wild Card round to the Cleveland Guardians actually didn’t prove costly, as Detroit won the series on the road in three games.
This year, BetMGM projects the Tigers to win the American League Central on the heels of proving they are the consensus best team in the division. Kansas City trails Detroit for the second-best odds at +225, and Cleveland is at +425.
