Tigers (M. Scherzer – R) @ Yankees (C. Sabathia – L)
Tigers
Yankees
The lineup 1-4 stays the same but Leyland has elected to give Jhonny Peralta, Andy Dirks and Alex Avila the day off and therefore batters 5-9 in the lineup are right handed against the left hander, CC Sabathia.
Also, Mad Max makes his final April start. Here are Mad Max’s first four starts.

Do with that what you will, but that’s a lot of line drives and his xFIP is a respectable 3.58.
