    Vegas only tries to get equal money on both sides so they win with either result. Right now it looks like the Tigers are the favorites with the public (espn.com poll results), so the line may be slightly inflated.

    I found a line and it has Detroit at -185 and SF at +155. Detroit is definitely the favorite, but if it was "smart" money only (professional gamblers), then the line wouldn't be as large.

    Interestingly, his worst game of the year was the one in which the NL won home field advantage in the World Series. That game was in practicallity won by the Giants (Cabrera/Sandoval) one of whom (the MVP of said game) will not even be in the World Series because of juicing (even though he is actually eligible to return).

    It's a twisted tale!

    That Barry Zito RBI hit showed why the Tigers are terrible with the NL rules. Miguel Cabrera is already a bad defensive 3rd baseman, and the only decent hitter after the top 4, Delmon Young, is god awful at defense and made one of the worst throws I have ever seen.

    Detroit is getting eviscerated by Sandoval.

    Why would they be tired? The playoffs are a lighter schedule than the regular season.
