3* ALCS Game 4 SMASH on New York Yankees -115
The Yankees have the edge with Sabathia on the mound. They are 5-0 in his last 5 starts, and he hasn't given up more than 2 runs in any outing during this stretch. Sabathia is also 3-0 against Detroit this season and hasn't allowed more than 3 earned runs in any of those.
In addition, the Yankees are 9-0 this season in games following 3 or more consecutive defeats. They are 61-25 when out for revenge for 2 straight losses in which they were held to 2 runs or less. They are also 6-1 in their last 7 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game.
Knowing the daunting history surrounding teams in an 0-3 hole, the Yankees now have the luxury of playing with nothing to lose. That makes them a more dangerous team this afternoon. Plus, the extra day off takes away some of the momentum Detroit had gained. Expect the Yankees to swing more freely at the plate and for Sabathia to take care of the rest.
