Yankees rotation set for Tigers

Here is the rotation that the Yankees will throw at the Detroit Tigers in the ALDS that begins tonight in the Bronx.

Game 1: CC Sabathia vs. Justin Verlander.
Game 2: Ivan Nova vs. Doug Fister.
Game 3: Freddy Garcia vs. Matt Scherzer.
Game 4: CC Sabathia vs. Rick Porcello.
Game 5: Ivan Nova vs. Justin Verlander.

Verlander will not pitch in game 4, because he has never pitched on three days rest in his career. Fister and Verlander combined to go 14-0 with a 1.66 ERA for the Tigers since August 16.

Nova earned the number two spot in the rotation after winning 16 games this season. Sabathia will have to be the anchor of this baseball team if they are to advance. Game one is on TBS at 8:37 pm.
