After a 9-0 drubbing in Game One, the Rangers bats came alive in Game Two has they recorded an 8-6 win to split the first two games. Dating back to the 2010 ALDS, the Rangers win on Sunday was the first by the home squad over the last seven playoff games these two clubs have battled in.

RHP Colby Lewis (14-10 4.40 ERA) gets the call for the Rangers today. Lewis will be opposed by LHP David Price (12-13 3.49 ERA) for the Rays. Price was rocked by the Yankees in his last start as he gave up five runs, over four innings, in a playoff style atmosphere during the Rays final regular season game.

ALDS Playoffs: Tigers @ Yankees Game Day Preview

This baseball betting action is slated for 8:30 PM ET Monday, October 3, 2011, from Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan. After rain washed out this epic ALDS Game One pitching match-up, we get Justin Verlander vs. CC Sabathia back on the bump for Game Three.

Verlander will win the AL Cy Young Award, as he  went 24-5 with a 2.40 ERA, while Sabathia could be the distant runner up after  he posted a 19-8 (3.00 ERA) record during the MLB 2011 season.

In splitting the first two games, the Yankees have scored 12 runs while the Tigers have plated eight base runners. Pitcher friendly Comerica Park should be a factor in bringing the scores down some over the next two games.

Verlander and Sabathia lost their only starts, when these teams faced each other, in Detroit during the 2011 MLB season.
