Right now, you'd have to say the Tigers are still the favorites.
If they can keep Fister healthy and get Smyly back from the blister, and get Avila back 100%, they're going to be a tough out...no matter how bad Valverde's been pitching.
However, if Peavy keeps pitching like this and the team starts to fall out of, you see what you can get for him and use the 2nd half to audition virtually everyone in AA/AAA for next season.
That also gives you a better idea of what to do with Gavin Floyd.
i dont have to say the Tigers are the favorites. They arent playing well at all. No one is right now in the Al Central.
