CC Sabathia, who pitched the Yankees into the championship series with a complete-game, four-hit, one-run performance against the Orioles, will start tonight. He last faced the Tigers August 8 at Comerica Park; he threw 6⅔ innings, allowing five runs (three earned) in a Yankees win. Members of the Tigers postseason roster are hitting .266 (54-for-203) against Sabathia with seven home runs. Cabrera is a particular nemesis of Sabathia's; in his career he is 10-for-26 (.385) against the Yankees ace with two doubles and two home runs.
