Those Terrible Twins

Terrible in the sense that they just hammer the Tigers. After winning the opener of this three-game set in Twinkie Town, the Tigers lost the next two, including Wednesday afternoon's 7-0 laugher.
Here's the problem, now, with the Tigers. They have spent so much energy getting back to .500 that you wonder if this is it for them. In baseball, every team wins 60 and loses 60, so the season basically is a 40-game stretch somewhere between April and Indian Summer. I mean, think about it, the Tigers went 18-4 to get back over .500. Is that their best stretch of the season? Is that it for them?
They still give away at-bats as an offense, and their pitching is erratic. Their ace, Justin Verlander, likely will have his worst season in professional baseball. Can he at least beat Seattle tonight? I mean, the Mariners are the worst team in the AL, right? You think the Tigers can get back on track against a struggling team like the Mariners? If Verlander doesn't dominate tonight, that's a bad, bad sign.
As much as they've made it interesting -- and I waver on this with almost every game -- I still see too many signs of inconsistency.
Plus, they have the worst record in their division in inter-divisional play, 11-21 now. The Central-leading White Sox are, by comparison, 24-11 in the division, and the Twins are 21-16. At 42-42 overall, just think where the Tigers would be if they had a .500 record in the division.
The Tigers climbed back into the race playing the National League in interleague competition. The NL looks like the weaker league, and it has for a couple of seasons. Now that the Tigers are back playing in the AL, I suspect their record will fall back to more reasonable numbers.
I think this is an 80-85 win team, sorry to say. I was jaded by the 18-4 run; the Twins, those Terrible Twins, put things right.
