The Tigers have to have the feeling of deja vu. Last season the back of the bullpen was shaky, and in the postseason it cost them several times. Yesterday they once again squandered a great outing by Anibel Sanchez, only to see the pen cough-up 2 runs in the ninth for a walk-off Twins win, which should have them feeling good for this one. The Twins left 12 runners on base in the opener or might actually be 2-0 in this series. Porcello had a great rookie season, but has been suspect since, and the Tigers concluded last season by winning just two of his last nine starts. I like Minnesota.
