Tigers have no left handed pitching, that could hurt them. Rangers have 3 lefties (Holland, Harrison, Wilson) and 2 righties (Lewis and Ogando.. even though Ogando will be coming out of the pen).
I'd say Tigers have the better bullpen based on what I saw vs the Yankees, but Rangers pitchers can get deep into games. Should be a great series. Being a homer I like my Rangers chances. And having Moreland and Murphy's left handed bats in the lineup will help the Rangers put more runs on the board.
Head to head Ogando dominated the first meeting, Valverde got the win in the next 2 close games. Then Detroit came here and spanked us in the first 2 games dropping 21 runs on us vs: Harrison and Lewis, then Ogando shut them down again in the third game. In the final series in Detroit the Tigers won the first two with Valverde picking up 2 saves and again losing to Ogando in the third game.
Tigers looked great no doubt, but the Yankees really sucked and laid an egg like they did last year against Texas. I say the Rangers take this in 6. Too bad they can't just start Ogando 3 times and guarantee a win LOL. Can't believe he probably won't start.
