Game 2 of the Tigers/Yankees division series put Max Scherzer up against Freddy Garcia. And, if one were to look only at ERA, it would’ve looked like the Yankees had the edge. Garcia posted a 3.62 ERA during the year in a smaller park while Scherzer posted a 4.43 ERA during the year in a bigger park, and if you considered only that information, you might’ve thought, hey, the Tigers are in trouble.

But, of course, we don’t consider only that information. ERA aside, Scherzer is a very good pitcher, and he proved that Sunday afternoon as the Tigers beat the Yankees 5-3 to even the series and take home-field advantage.
