Miguel Cabrera is such a big part of what the Tiger's offense is all about. Despite the HR in game 5 vs. Oakland, he is ailing for sure with abdominal and groin issues. Cabrera has just two HR's in his last 102 at bats. The HR in game 5 was his first extra base hit in his last 55 at bats. The Red Sox are glad to have Jon Lester back in form. Lester has pitched to a 2.20 ERA over his last 11 starts, and has a long track record of winning at Fenway where he was 8-1 this season. Boston has been lights out as a home favorite where they are an impressive 41-14 over their last 55 games, and that includes 12-2 in Lester's last 14 home starts to any line. Detroit is just 2-7 in Sanchez' last nine starts vs. an opponent that allowed two or less runs in their last game. Play is on Boston.
