The Detroit Tigers have maintained the best record in the American League and are tied with the New York Mets for the best record in MLB heading toward the All-Star Break, which is scheduled for July 15th in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

The Tigers’ pitching staff, fielding and batting order have been equally impressive this season under manager AJ Hinch, with Detroit on the verge of its best season in over a decade.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Tigers got a vote of confidence from one of Major League Baseball’s top pitchers during his time, Pedro Martinez, who shared his thoughts on a potential Tigers World Series run and who Detroit might face should they make it to MLB’s Fall Classic this season.<\/p>\n

“Prediction: I have the Tigers going to the World Series against the Padres #mlbontbs,” Martinez wrote on Wednesday in a post seen over 78,000 times.<\/p>\n

“I hope you’re right,” one fan said<\/a> after Martinez’s crystal ball pick.<\/p>\n

“1984 over again, I’m here for that,” another added<\/a> about Detroit’s last World Series winning season.<\/p>\n

“Don’t do that to me Pedro! I’m from Detroit living in San Diego,” another added<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“C’mon Pedro, say it ain’t so,” another added<\/a>. “Mets World Series.”<\/p>\n

The Tigers and Padres met last month with Detroit taking two of three games at Comerica Park, a series that spearheaded the Tigers’ resurgence from middle-of-the-pack to potential World Series contender, as it moved them to 15-10 on the season at the time.<\/p>\n

The Tigers’ young core tasted playoff action last season. Now, they appear ready to make what could be their longest run since the days of Justin Verlander and Miguel Cabrera.<\/p>\n
