New York looks to follow up last game's win over the Tigers with another Wednesday at home. They send veteran Mike Mussina to the mound at Yankee Stadium.
The Tigers start Justin Verlander, 17-9, 3.63 ERA. His last trip was a win, an 11-4 team win against the Royals, when he threw five innings, allowing two runs on six hits.
Detroit has struggled down the stretch and will hope Verlander can extend a strong regular season into a strong start today to help them in New York for Game 2.
The Yankees are favored, opening as 241 chalk, with an opening total of 10.
Derek Jeter was 5-for-5 in the opening-game win and Bobby Abreu drove in four runs to help Chien-Ming Wang get his first major league postseason win.
Jim Leyland's team hopes to rebound from an 8-4 loss at the hands of the Yankees. They were underdogs in a game that went over the total.
The Tigers' staff is stingy with baserunners, allowing fewer men to reach base than just about every team in the league. New York needs to get to Verlander and into the bullpen to make things happen today.
