Why This Trend Exists

The Tigers' exceptional performance as underdogs during win streaks stems from a perfect storm of psychological momentum and market inefficiency. When Detroit strings together victories, the team enters a confident, loose mindset that particularly benefits underdogs who have nothing to lose. The betting public and oddsmakers often remain skeptical of Tigers hot streaks, remembering their recent struggles and undervaluing the psychological lift that comes with sustained success. Detroit's roster construction plays a crucial role here. Their young, hungry players tend to feed off momentum more than veteran-heavy clubs, creating an infectious energy that translates to clutch performances. The organization's emphasis on developing gritty, resilient players means they don't fold under pressure when expectations remain low despite their recent success. The market consistently fails to adjust quickly enough to Detroit's surges, creating value for sharp bettors who recognize that winning breeds winning, especially for teams accustomed to being overlooked. The Tigers' ability to maintain focus while flying under the radar gives them a significant edge in these spots. This trend matters most during mid-season stretches when Detroit catches fire against quality opponents, as the market's reluctance to fully buy into their success creates the largest pricing discrepancies.
