Detroit Tigers 2024 World Series Odds
Following a 78-84 record in 2023, their best win percentage since 2016, and a 12-game win improvement over 2022, there was hope that the Detroit Tigers might make a move in the American League Central Division race. Instead, the Tigers are slightly behind their 2023 pace as the season headed into the All-Star break. The Tigers rate as one of the biggest disappointments on the diamond and at the betting window for 2024. Gamblers ask if Detroit can pull through with a better performance in the second half. Outside of an effective starting staff, the Tigers do not have much to brag about. Thus, there is not much optimism for the second half of 2024.

For the Detroit Tigers, it has seven years of losing and misery. Rock bottom was reached in 2019 when the Tigers went 47-114, and there has been a slow climb since then. Last year, the Tigers were three games under .500, and they flirted for a while in the pathetic American League Central before running out of steam. This year, gamblers are in the middle when it comes to the 2024 future market prospects of the Tigers. The AL Central is bad enough to win, and the Tigers made a decent effort at self-improvement in the offseason.
Last season, the Tigers gave gamblers occasional value and a good profit on the run line and money line. Thus, betting action will be attracted to a Tigers team that is finally showing signs of improvement.
Key offseason acquisitions include RHP Kenta Maeda, RHP Jack Flaherty, RHP Shelby Miller, LHP Andrew Chafin, and OF Mark Canha.
Key offseason departures include DH Miguel Cabrera, LHP Eduardo Rodriguez, and RHP José Cisnero.
After a surprising second-place finish last season and their most wins (78) since 2016, the Tigers are starting the long-awaited shift from rebuilding to contending.
Eduardo Rodriguez’s departure took a big chunk out of the rotation. Still, the Tigers added reasonably priced veterans.
