Detroit has the pitching star power and Oakland, if I recall correctly anyhow, had pitching more based on depth.
With Verlander and, UGH, Doug Fister, Detroit could argue that its PLAYOFF pitching is very elite.
Fister this postseason, two starts and two lockdown starts, the anvil crushing the opponent offense like a piano dropping out of the window. I hate to carp on the past, nobody's perfect, but that Fister deal. Quite an owie.
