A.J. Burnett has not delivered what the Yankees were expecting from him, but the Bombers’ rotation is such that he retains the No. 2 spot, meaning he will often be matched-up vs. a pitcher that may not have better stuff, but is getting better results. Burnett's problems are well documented, and it is hard to trust this guy going forward. And at a "Yankees" price of an overwhelming favorite, the value is clearly on the other side. The Tigers have the bats to cause a lot of problems for Burnett, so I'm going with the live dog here and backing the Tigers.
