Not only did the
Tigers make a huge splash when they signed Prince Fielder to a nine-year, $214
million dollar contract, they became a huge betting favorite in the American
League. Fielder, Miguel Cabrera and Justin Verlander (not necessarily in that
order) give Detroit three of the top players in the majors and will make them
hard to beat over the course of a season. Only the Angels and perhaps the
Rangers have the talent and depth to match and both of those teams would be
favored in a short series.
