I dislike both teams but I hope for a close and long series. I don't feel comfortable cheering for the Tigers who's post season appearance was only made possible by playing in a truly terrible division and Jim Leyland can manage a game in a way that makes me want to tear my eyes out. I do like me some Justin Verlander though and Miguel Cabrerra, while not deserving of the MVP, is one hell of a player. How is Max Scherzer going to pitch? He is very much like AJ or Brandon Morrow in relationship to the Jays, he should be the best pitcher in baseball but still struggles to find consistency.

I think it's the Giants series to lose however. I like their lineup from 1-9 much better. I think Buster Posey is the best bat on either team.I think they have the better starting pitching, as long as Zito does not blow up. Their bullpen could be a really big advantage for them as well. I'm not one to buy into narratives or that I, or we, as fans know how chemistry affects a team, but the Giants seem to have a ton of confidence, for whatever it's worth. They're still so young, they have no egos on the team and they seem to have an incredible amount of chemistry. The biggest thing for them is going to be the two starts by Zito (If he even makes a second one)

I like the Giants in 6.
