Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker welcome in ESPN senior writer David Schoenfield (3:15) to dissect the - through 100 games - MLB's best Detroit Tigers. He shares what's behind their jump this season, AJ Hinch's impact as manager, his impressions of the Blue Jays and the abundance of struggling teams across the American League. Then, Jeff & Kevin discuss the Tigers' 'what-if?' scenarios with Tarik Skubal trade rumours last season before reacting to the Jays' shaken-up lineup. Finally, Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman (26:19) discusses the mood in the clubhouse, how he's reclaimed confidence in his splitters & fastballs, the evolution of his view toward in-season adjustments and much more.
