A rested Verlander to start the ALCS is the only move Mr. Leyland could make. His 14-2 record on away games during the regular season would scare any team o_O His insane form continues into the postseason (1-0, 2 games started including the suspended game vs NYY, 12 K, .188 AVG).
The Rangers are capable of giving Verlander a good test. There is no weak link among the Rangers' batters (27 H, 6 HR; 2 H in lone defeat to TB in ALDS Game 1). This series is too close to call: Rangers in seven, but I'm pulling for the Tigers.
Speaking emotionally is not my strong suit, but I would like to the St. Louis Cardinals return to the World Series as the NL champion. The Brewers defeated the Diamondbacks in extra innings after losing their one-run advantage in the ninth, and did it with bravado and gesturing during and after the game. Nyjer Morgan likes to run his mouth, in particular at St. Louis Cardinal players. Emotion could take the Brew Crew out of their game and cost Milwaukee a place in the 2011 Fall Classic.
