Will The Yankees Win Game 4?

It's been a rough road back to the World Series for the New York Yankees. Standing in the way of the American League East winners are the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers took a commanding two games to one game lead in the AL Division Series on Monday -- and they need just one more win to eliminate the Bronx Bombers from the playoffs and advance to the AL Championship Series. The winner of the ALCS goes onto the World Series.

All hope isn't lost for the Yankees, though. As baseball fans saw with the razor-thin wild card race between the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays, anything can happen.

Inconsistent postseason Yankees pitcher A.J. Burnett is expected to take the mound Tuesday night in Game 4. According to ESPN.com, Joe Girardi says Burnett will be "on a very short leash." That's a good thing. That is, if the Yankees had anyone else to star in his place.

On the bright side for New York, Tigers pitcher Rick Porcello will make his postseason debut in Game 4 and is unproven in high pressure situations. Regardless, it wasn't Burnett's fault Tigers ace Justin Verlander recorded 11 strikeouts in eight innings in Game 3.

Game 4 begins tonight at 8:37p.m./ET on TBS.

    I make this prediction with no fear---since the game has already been played (timing really is everything).

    Much as I hate to say it, the Evil Empire has a pretty good shot at winning Game FIVE and making it back to the ALCS.(where the Texas Rangers will make short work of them.

    PS: Go Phillies !!!

    who won? now ivan nova is going to pitch the next game...btw in case you didnt know, he dominated the tigers in the weird continuation of game one. and fister will pitch for the tigers who got rocked by the yankees lineup... im smelling NYY vs. TEX rematch in the ALCS!!

    fister doesn't have overpowering stuff to dominate the yankees lineup we saw scherzer and verlander shut them down but the yankees will hit fister... the tigers had a tough time against nova last time out this should be interesting... and i think we should all leave aj alone now hes won some big games for us

    yeah i was actually pretty confident he would be able to pitch a good outing last night, but if it was not for granderson's great play in the first the yankees would be out of the playoffs i think

    True, but Porcello if he is on his game is the type of pitcher the Yanks have a hard time hitting. Plus the Tigers have a better rounded team. Naturally only time will tell who is up for it but I still think the Tigers will take them tonight.

  • NYYankees JT For ... 2011/10/04 22:46:20
    NYYankees
    True... Porcellos career numbers against the yankees arent that great this year and hes more of a sinkerball groundball pitcher the yankees had tough times off of scherzer and verlander who are strikeout guys who can get it up in the mid 90s like what burnett is. I think theyll hit porcello but i could be wrong it all comes down to aj though

  • JT For ... NYYankees 2011/10/05 11:12:23
    JT For Political Reform
    AJ pitched a good game but so did Porcello, Granderson was the key to the yanks winning and the fact that the Tigers couldn't score in the 1st inning. On to New York. Most said the Tigers in 5 so I guess we will see what happens Thursday.

    yeah porcello did good it was the bullpens fault for blowing the game open. The granderson catch probably did save the game because I think the outcome would of been much different it seemed to calm down AJ afterwards he seemed nervous the first inning. Regardless the winner I gotta say this was a really fun, well played series by both teams whoever wins really deserves to go to the ALCS. Us Yankee fans are a little spoiled sweeping the Twins every year you guys gave us a little challenge

    Hell, we are just happy to have a good baseball and football team for once. The last time the Lions were real winners I was 9 years old and that was a long time ago.

    Granderson is still one of my favorite players no matter who he plays for, he is just a plain good person that tries his best every game. Even if the Yanks win we still have a good team that kicked some butt this year, we'll just have to wait and see what happens. You never know with the tigers, they can be hot or cold but if they're hot and Fister pitches the way he was during the regular season, the Yankees will have their hands full.

    Fister can do it... But hes gotta be careful against the yankees lineup he has to be perfect with his locatiob otherwise hell get hit he doesnt have overpowering stuff thats where nova has the advantage he does have nasty stuff... And yeah granderson is a good guy and a good player im surprised detroit traded him in the first place
    reply
  • JT For ... NYYankees 2011/10/05 20:57:44
    JT For Political Reform
    I was surprised when they traded Grandy also but we got Austin Jackson and Coke which worked out pretty well, Austin isn't the hitter that Granderson is but he is a lot younger and he can make those same plays in the outfield most of the time. Coke did a great job in relief for the tigers but he wasn't very good as a starter.

    You're right about Fister. He can, but will he? That's the question. He's had a hard time with the Yanks when he was in Seattle but there he got no run support at all. I think it will turn out to be an interesting game none the less.
