Tigers Await World Series Opponent

After completing a four-game sweep against the lifeless New York Yankees, the Detroit Tigers are waiting to see who they will be facing in the World Series next week.

The St. Louis Cardinals took a commanding 3-1 lead in their best of seven series against the San Francisco Giants with an 8-3 win at home.

If the Cardinals win and advance to the World Series, it will be a rematch of the 2006 World Series when then 83-78 St. Louis beat the 95-67 Detroit Tigers.

This year's match up, if it happens, will pair two teams that won under 90 games in the regular season. In fact, Detroit had the 7th best record in the American League and St. Louis had the 5th best record in the National League.

Game Five will see Barry Zito attempting to extend the Giants' season against Lance Lynn who is looking to send the defending Champion Cardinals to their fourth World Series in nine years.
