Buck Martinez--Tigers will eliminate Yankees

Buck on WFAN with Mike and Chris says he's on record before the series picking Tigers over Yankees and stays with that. He points to the superior pitching staff of the Tigers, which lead the majors in ERA most of the season. Martinez says too much is made out of the Tigers' sluggish finish. Mike and Chris seem shocked that Buck is so sure about the Tigers--I don't know why that's the case. First, anything can happen in baseball, especially in a short series. Pitching is the deciding factor, and the Tigers have it.

• Buck points to the plan that Tigers' reliever Jamie Walker used to get Robinson Cano to ground into a double play.
• At times like this, I wonder if teams' scouts should get more credit or blame.
