The Detroit Tigers have appeared in the AL Championship series each of the last three years, and nothing appears to have changed this season as the Tigers have the hitting and pitching to get it done once again. Justin Verlander had some muscle issues that required off-season surgery, but appears to be as good as ever allowing just eight hits in 20 spring training innings. James Shields is a strong opposing pitcher, but the Tigers best hitter, Miguel Cabrera, has owned him with a .425 career average against him. The Tigers are a menacing 58-25 in Verlander's last 83 home starts as a favorite, and they get off to a winning start in this one. Make the play on Detroit.
