Detroit Tigers will win the World Series 50 to win 400.

If your placing this bet as a Tigers fan...burn your ticket up and stop betting on your "team" it will not work in the end...if anybody can hit your boy verlander..it's the bronx bombers...take the under in game 1 and call it a night

Yeah that's it, burn up your ticket on a series between two comparable teams.

I'm thinking you were all over the Miami Heat after game 1 in the NBA Finals?

Verlander is great!
Miggy is great!
That's it, that's their team

Ever heard of Victor Martinez? Missed 3 weeks and had over a 100 rbi's. Jose Valverde? 49 out of 49 saves.

Avila, Peralta, Young, Magglio, Jackson, All great complimentary players.

C Avila > Martin

IB Cabrera > Teixeira

2B Cano > Santiago/Raburn

3B ARod (assuming he plays 3B) > Inge (as bad as ARod has been this year, please don't try to debate this point or it'll show you totally lack objectivity)

SS Peralta > Jeter (as a Yankee fan, this shows my objectivity - if it was closer, I would give Jeter a bump for his playoff experience - but it's not)

LF Gardner = Young/Raburn

CF Grandy > Jackson

RF Swisher > Ordonez / Dirks

DH VMart > Posada

SP Detroit > New York

Bullpen New York > Detroit

Closer Mo > Valverde (Tiger fans will point to Valverde being 49/49 in save chances which is great. I'll point to Mo having better ERA/WHIP/K per 9IP and the fact that he's Mariano Rivera)

Can Detroit win this series? Absolutely. If I were betting on it (I never bet against the Yankees - but the money for this series doesn't provide me with the proper return based on the risk to bet ON the Yankees) I would probably take the Tigers at plus money. But to say that the Tigers are clearly the better team is ... laughable. Both teams have great players - and both teams have areas in which they have a decided advantage. IF the Yankee starters perform slightly above average - the Yankees will win this series. Robertson/Soriano/Ayala and Logan are a great bridge to the greatest post season pitcher since Babe Ruth (or Bob Gibson).

Prediction: A terrific series that goes five games. Since I have no money on this series - I'll take the Yankees in five.

ALDS MVP - Robinson Cano

Excellent write up. Thanks for being objective.

I'm a Tigers fan and I actually think the Yankees price is good(and lower than I thought it would be) for a team that will get 3 home games and a solid line up.
