The Detroit Tigers have less than 24 hours to find an offense that can save their season. Unfortunately for their chances in the American League Division Series, the Tigers have been looking for the last month without any success.

The Detroit Tigers played three games in Cleveland with the Guardians chasing a division crown and a historic comeback. Then they went to a sold-out Fenway Park for three more against a team fighting for a playoff spot.

Detroit appeared in four World Series before finally winning a championship, including enduring consecutive World Series losses from 1907 to '09. The franchise has made the World Series a total of 11 times over its 124-year history, and holds just a win percentage of .363 in the championship round.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider admits that it's hard to tune out much baseball outside of his own team. That remains true in the postseason, as the Blue Jays eliminated the Yankees, 5-2, en route to their first American League Championship Series since 2016.

For much of this week, the tension inside Comerica Park felt heavier than the October chill. No one seemed to be having any fun. In Game 3 on Tuesday, fans waited through nearly three hours of rain and cold only to watch a dud of a game — a blowout until the Tigers picked up a couple of meaningless runs in the bottom of the ninth.
