Tigers fans aren’t the only ones who are beginning to look at this frustrating season with a jaundiced eyes.
        Las Vegas, too, has changed its opinion of our baseball team.
        Gamblers, who viewed the Tigers as a chic pick during spring training, are now jumping off the bandwagon in droves.
        As you may recall, on Opening Day the Tigers were 5/6 betting favorites to win the title in the American League Central. In other words, you had to bet $6 to win $5. (Plus you got your six bucks back, of course)
        Now, the Chicago White Sox are favored at 4/7 while the Tigers are the third choice in the division at 7/2.
        On Opening Day, the odd against the Tigers winning the A.L. pennant were 7/2. Now the Tigers  are 10/1 underdogs behind the front-running ChiSox.
        When the season began, the odds against the Tigers winning the World Series were 9/1. They  are now 18/1 -- and rising.
