I wish. I'm not generating doctor-level cash (though I do OK).

One more thing to add:

The Tigers underperformed their Pythag (which basically figures projected wins based on runs scored vs. runs allowed) by 6 wins last year (93 vs. 99).

Just spitballing, I think their lineup produces about 40 fewer runs this years and allows 40 more. Just that small difference drops their Pythag figure 9-10 wins.

Of course, that's all "on paper" and subject to fate/luck/real life, but it definitely makes the idea of catching Detroit for the division seem like a much more reachable goal.
