Who's a bigger badass than Gorman Thomas? Huh? Huh? Here are lockdown bets:
Detroit Tigers - New York Yankees
The Tigers -- even with Justin Verlander -- never scared me. Yes, they have scary players. I think, also, that they have scary holes in their roster. There's something very top-heavy about the line-up and I don't think the bullpen is all that special. I do like Verlander and Mark Fister (a guy I wish the Rangers had pursued or pursued harder) as your 1-2 punch here. However, Verlander's been very ordinary against the Yankees. In two starts this year, Verlander's got a 4.50 ERA with eight walks and 11 hits against the Bombers. Although I like Fister, Rick Porcello and Max Scherzer, they are relative new comers to post-season baseball. The Yankees are going to foul off 1,000 pitches a game.

St. Louis Cardinals - Philadelphia Phillies
Halladay-Lohse. Lee-Jackson. Although those sound like surnames of Civil War generals, they are instead the pitching match-ups for the Cardinals-Phillies. That should scare the Cardinals.

Arizona Diamondbacks - Milwaukee Brewers
I could barely acknowledge the Arizona Diamondbacks making the playoffs. No one's talking about this series. Does anyone else get reminded of the 2010 Rangers by the Diamondbacks? A former player and unproven, old-school manager at the helm. A good bullpen. A young, top-heavy rotation. A line-up finally matching the hype with a breakout star (Justin Upton). Could you name me this team's 200-inning starters? (Ian Kennedy, former Angel Joe Saunders, Daniel Hudson). Unfortunatley, I think, from top to bottom, that Milwaukee is better. Two MVP candidates. Zack Greinke is your second-best pitcher (behind Yovani Gallardo) and they are four deep at starters. The bullpen is fantastic.
