Look for the bats to come out to play tonight in Game 5 of the ALDS. Both Ivan Nova and Doug Fister go at it again after taking over for C.C. Sabathia and Justin Verlander in the second inning of the suspended Game 1. The Yankees won that game 9-3, largely due to a poor outing from Fister, who gave up six runs in 4 2/3 innings. In fact, Fister is now 1-3 with a 7.15 ERA lifetime versus New York. Nova is having a solid rookie season overall, but he has not fared all that well at Yankee Stadium this year. Nova sports a 4.11 ERA and 1.406 WHIP in 14 home starts in 2011. New York is hitting .273 and scoring 5.8 runs/game at home this year in their batter-friendly new stadium. The Tigers are hitting .300 and scoring 6.0 runs/game over their last seven contests. The Yankees are 57-33 OVER (+22.5 Units) at home when the total is 9 to 9.5 over the last 2 seasons. Detroit is 35-20 OVER (+14.3 Units) when the total is 9 to 9.5 this season. Take the OVER 9 runs here. -Black Widow (Touthouse.com)

New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers
Prediction: over 7 -110 odds (September 30th 2011)

There’s no denying that Justin Verlander and C.C. Sabathia are two of the best starters in the game. As a result though, they are both getting a lot of respect with such a low total set in Game 1 of the ALDS tonight. Both starters have been sub-par when facing their respective opponents throughout their careers. Sabathia is 15-12 with a 4.54 ERA in 32 career starts against Detroit. Verlander is 4-3 with a 4.06 ERA and 1.548 WHIP in 11 career starts against the Yankees. Verlander has given up exactly three earned runs in each of his last three starts against New York for a 4.74 ERA, not once making it past the 6th inning. All three of those contests saw eight or more combined runs. Sabathia is 1-2 with a 4.85 ERA in his last four starts against the Tigers. He has yielded 14 earned runs, 4 home runs and 38 base runners in 26 innings over this span. The Yankees are hitting .274 and scoring 5.8 RPG at home in 2011. The Tigers are hitting .287 and scoring 5.3 RPG against left-handed starters this year. Detroit comes into the postseason red hot at the plate, and they are 27-13 to the OVER after batting .290 or better over a 20 game span this season. The Yankees are 25-7 to the OVER in home games vs. a starting pitcher who gives up 5.5 or less hits/start over the last 2 seasons. I’m seeing an average of 11.3 RPG in this spot. The OVER is 5-0 in Tigers last 5 games as a road underdog. The OVER is 35-17-3 in Tigers last 55 games following an off day. The OVER is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in New York. Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

Any time you can get the Boston Red Sox as an underdog it’s worth a shot. That’s especially the case against the New York Yankees, a team they have owned this season. Boston climbed into sole possession of first place in the AL East with their 11-6 victory over the Yankees last night. The Red Sox are now 7-1 against New York this season, including a perfect 5-0 in five meetings at Yankee Stadium. Boston has won five straight games overall while scoring 6 or more runs in each contest and averaging 8.0 RPG in the process.

Look for these Red Sox bats to stay red hot against C.C. Sabathia tonight. Sabathia is 6-9 with a 4.20 ERA in 19 career starts against Boston. He gave up 6 earned runs and 10 base runners in 6 2/3 innings of a 0-6 loss to the Red Sox in his only home start against them this year on 5/14. Josh Beckett was the winner of that game, pitching six scoreless innings while striking out 9 to earn the victory. Beckett is 4-2 with a 2.01 ERA and 1.026 WHIP in 12 starts this season. The Red Sox are 8-0 in their last 8 games vs. a left-handed starter. Take Boston Thursday.
