The Detroit Tigers concluded June with a solid 53-32 record, maintaining a commanding 11.5-game lead in the AL Central. Despite a slight dip in form with series losses to the Cincinnati Reds and Tampa Bay Rays, expert power rankings still place the Tigers firmly in the top tier of MLB teams. USA TODAY has consistently ranked them first for three consecutive weeks, while MLB.com highlights potential All-Star candidates like Gleyber Torres, Riley Greene, and Javier Baez for the upcoming All-Star Game.

ESPN ranks Detroit second but acknowledges Tarik Skubal's impressive statistics, positioning him as a strong contender for the All-Star Game. The Tigers are on pace for their first 100-win season since 1984, which would mark just their sixth time reaching that milestone in franchise history. Amidst these accomplishments, the team has also activated Matt Vierling from the injured list, further solidifying their roster as they head into the second half of the season.
