Tigers looking to bring the title home

By Sam Ali / Sports Writer, Tell Us Detroit

DETROIT (Tell Us Det) -- Since their last World Series win in 1984, the Tigers have had a losing record in 16 of the last 28 seasons, including 10 straight from '95 to '05. Then they had that magical run in '06 that led to this resurgence in the last six years. All of the ups and downs have brought us here. Four games and the title belongs to Detroit.

But, San Francisco isn't a pushover by any stretch of the imagination. Seems like they have been living on the edge for the entire postseason. But, with clutch hitting and a great rotation, the Giants are back in the World Series for the first time since 2010. Similar roads taken has led to one place, the Fall Classic. Many of the experts are taking the Tigers and why not? A triple-crown winner and last year's MVP and Cy Young winner on the same team is borderline unfair.

I'm taking the Tigers too and not only because they are my team. It is because they are THE team. Call it destiny. Call it fate. I call it deserving.
