As someone who is always forecasting doom and gloom, I have tried to be as realistic as possible when discussing the Detroit Tigers and their chances to win the American League Central Division.
Three controversial decisions made by Tigers manager Jim Leyland lately that have proven to be correct
Alex Avila got a key single to drive in the tying run and set up the winning run to keep his amazing August run going.
Jim Leyland chose to go against the grain more than a couple of times Tuesday to preserve Detroit's 2-1 victory over Tampa Bay, its fifth straight.
The Detroit Tigers were facing a potentially long night with a short-handed bullpen against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Alex Avila hit an RBI single in the seventh to tie the score helping the Detroit Tigers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 on Tuesday night.

Al Alburquerque (concussion) went on the seven-day disabled list Aug. 12.
The Detroit Tigers have gotten plenty of help from ace Justin Verlander during their drive for their first division title in 24 years. They could use a little more from Brad Penny.
The weekend proved two things: The Tigers are clearly the best team in the AL Central and the media here isn't the best at anything.
If you were watching the Tigers last night you may have noticed Rod and Mario cracking up over what looked like a fart in the dugout.
Justin Verlander won his 19th game and his seventh straight start. Whether he benefited or was hampered by an extra day of rest is a matter of perspective.
Doesn't look like Alex Avila is going to get a day off until rosters expand in September.

The following is about what should be, not necessarily what will be.
Verlander goes seven innings and gives up one run as the AL Central-leading Detroit Tigers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-2 on Monday night.
Far more often than not this season, Justin Verlander has taken the ball following a loss. The Detroit Tigers' ace won't have to worry about getting the AL Central leaders back on track this time.
It wasn't easy. But the Detroit Tigers completed a sweep of the Cleveland Indians on Sunday with a heart-stopping 8-7 win - Austin Jackson saved the day by throwing out Kosuke Fukudome at the plate to end the game.
Austin Jackson has won games with his glove and bat this season, but Detroit's 8-7 squeaker over Cleveland might be the first he's won with his arm.
The fact that Justin Verlander is pitching Monday night could have had something to do with it, but Jim Leyland using a half-dozen relief pitchers from the fourth inning on showed that one game might have been a tad more important than some others.
The box score says that Jose Valverde extended his franchise-record save streak to 37 on Sunday.
I know. The big news of the weekend was the Tigers thrilling sweep over the Cleveland Indians. But lost in that excitement is the call up of Third Baseman Brandon Inge. After being exiled to Toledo for the past month, Inge made his triumphant return to the Tigers lineup Saturday night, when he promptly responded with a homerun in his first at bat back in Detroit.
A spot-on throw by Austin Jackson to catcher Alex Avila for a tag-out at home leaves the Detroit Tigers beating the Cleveland Indians in dramatic fashion 8-7 on Sunday to sweep the series.
The Cleveland Indians have to beat the Detroit Tigers if they want to win the AL Central.
