Detroit Tigers on Brink of Ending MLB's Longest Active Playoff Drought

A win against the White Sox on Friday could clinch the Tigers' first postseason berth since 2014.

The Tigers' magic number to secure an AL wild-card spot is now one after the Twins' loss to the Marlins on Thursday.
Detroit has three games remaining against the Chicago White Sox, starting Friday night at Comerica Park.
The Tigers have an impressive 9-1 record against the White Sox this season, including two series sweeps.
If the Tigers lose, they can still clinch a playoff berth if the Twins lose any of their remaining games against the Orioles.
Detroit has made a remarkable comeback, going from eight games under .500 on August 11 to a 30-11 record over the past 46 days.
