Davis, Gose leading the way for first-place Tigers

In 520 career at-bats, Gose hits .262 with 39 extra-base hits (six homers), 46 walks and a .710 OPS against righties. In over 1,000 career plate appearances against left-handed pitchers, Davis hits .304 with an OPS of .810. The career trends of Gose and Davis have proven true for the Tigers so far. Gose is hitting .364 with a .932 OPS against right-handed pitchers and Davis sits at .313 and .983 against left-handed pitchers.
