The Yankees come in having played a grueling 5 Gamer with the New Orioles. The Tigers went to the Distance with the New Swingin' Athletics. Both Teams have Grade A Front Line Starters and their Line Ups all pack a Punch with the Tigers having a Decided Edge in that Category.
The Tigers come in with the AL Triple Crown Winner Miggy Cabrera and his Body Guard in the Lineup the Prince of Motown...Prince Fielder. They also have a CF that is Young and an emerging Star in Austin Jackson. The Yankees if they are to pick their Poison go around Miggy and try your Luck with Prince in that Short Porch in the Bronx Zoo.
The Yankees get out of the Orioles Series with A-Rod, Cano, Martin, and Swisher all struggling mightily. The Yankees will clean off the Slate for A-Rod as he will get a Shot one would think to redeem himself in this Series but his Leash has to be pretty short. The Best Pick Up the Bronx Bombers made at the Deadline was getting Ichiro as he is just consistently good and always has been. Jeter will hit as he did last Series and he is a Top 5 Yankee All-Time when they get to October Baseball nothing phases #2 even his Dream Team Line Up of former Lady Friends.
The Tigers must get to that Pen and get the Starter off the Bump. the Yankees must also get the Tigers Starters off the Bump and get to the Pen. The Tigers might have the Edge in Middle Relief but the Yankees Soriano gets the Edge closing of the some what unpredictable Valverde.

The Yankees only have Game 1 Starter Pettitte as they are TBD the Rest of the Series and honestly Skip Girardi probably doesn't know who is going but has a Good Idea.
The Tigers on the Other Hand know who is going and they are not afraid to say whom as Sanchez, Verlander, And Scherzer in Games 2-4 in that Order. The Yankees will get the Big Guns in Comerica in 3 and 4.
It's a 7 Game Series unlike the ALDS Format of 5. Its goes 2 NYY, 3 DET, and 2 NYY. The Tigers will have a 3-Game set in Games 3-5 at Comerica so it is almost imperative that the Yankees win at least 1 if not 2 at Home before traveling to the D.
