As pointed out by Bless You Boys, Fangraphs originally gave the Tigers a 37 percent chance of winning the division and a 51.6 percent chance of making the playoffs. After a series win over the St. Louis Cardinals, the Tigers now have have the best odds of winning the AL Central and making the playoffs at 55 percent and 75.2 percent, respectively. The Royals' odds have also taken a huge leap, going from an 8.8 percent chance of winning the division to 26.5 percent.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Indians' playoff odds have taken the biggest hit of any team in the division. Cleveland, who sits in last place with a 14-22 record, has gone from having a 57.7 percent chance of making the playoffs to just 29.4 percent.
