My curse of the Tigers is real and I now have the data to prove it. The following statistics are representative of all regular season games since 1984 (the last time the Tigers won the World Series) where I have either been living in the state of Michigan or out of state.

Since I moved home they are 4-6 which is almost exactly in line with my current trend rate (small sample size on the return, but the rest of the data speaks for itself).
Furthermore, here are my playoff stats:
Who wants to chip in to put me up in Florida for the next two months?
My analysis attached.
Goodnight.
