I still think the Tigers are going to stink 4/5 days. Their pitching is terrible besides Verlander and everyone knows you can't slug your way to a World Series title. Just look at what happened to the Tigers the last time they were in the Series. Kenny Rogers was their second best pitcher and Todd Jones was their closer. You can't win that way.
Not to mention how awful Verlander is in the post-season.

Not sure where you got your stats: below are the wins using the 5 starters for each team. These are for the top 6 teams in the American league for last year. I only used the 5 starting pitchers for each team. Gave Cleveland 6 pitchers to help their total. And Kenny Rogers and Todd Jones are not here anymore. You don't like Valverde as a closer?
Detroit 73 This includes Brad Penny for the 5th starter
Texas 73
Yankees 71
Tampa Bay 64
Los Ageles Angels 58
Cleveland 50 using 6 rather tha 5 pitchers.
