DET 2, NYY 1

I love the postseason for a lot of reasons; one of them is getting to see extended mastery from teams and players I don't see a ton of during the regular season. It's so much fun to watch Verlander, and particularly his velocity rising during a game. Another dominating performance from the reigning Cy Young/MVP last night that the points didn't necessarily reflect.

And those points belong to:
Cabrera: 2
Cano (!): 1

Verlander: 11.33

Lots of points up for grabs tonight, in theory, starting with SF @ STL, 4 PM Eastern: Cain and Lohse on the mound, or so MLB.com is alleging (I'm hearing Lincecum is going for San Fran). But the real story, of course, is NYY @DET at 8: Sabathia and Scherzer on the mound, Yankees down 3-0 on the road. I didn't think the Yankees would win this series, but I didn't anticipate a sweep, either (and I still don't). A Yanks loss could spice things up fast for the leaders.

Good luck!
