Detroit at New York

Yes, another big favorite. But, in the postseason the cream rises to the top and here we have the cream at home. And the cream has been very hot. The Yankees bats are on fire as they come in off a run in which they scored nearly 8 runs per game in their last seven games. Chien-Ming Wang gets the call for New York. He's 11-3 with a 3.03 ERA at home this season. His counterpart, Nate Robertson is just 13-13 on the season and 6-5 on the road. He's 1-4 vs. the Yankees while Wang is 3-0 vs. Detroit. Robertson is 9-23 the past two seasons vs. winning teams in late-season play. Detroit lost five straight to end the season and were swept by the lowly KC Royals. That is a sign of MAJOR problems folks. Yankees too much for Robertson and the reeling Tigers in game one.
