Detroit at New York

Mets fans are already grumbling after last season's sky-high payroll produced little. The Mets are out of the gate at 0-4 and the offense has been brutally bad as they have scored one or fewer runs in three of four losses. Have the Detroit Tigers become a contender with their youthful team? You couldn't ask for a better start as the Tigers take the field at 4-0. They have a pair of shutout wins to their credit already, and wins create confidence in a young team. The Tigers shutout the Mets in the series opener 5-0, and with two more vs. the struggling Mets, and three at home vs. Oakland on deck, the Tigers could be looking good after nine games. Let's ride this. Play Detroit.
