Both pitchers starting today can easily be considered the aces for their teams, and neither of them had #1 quality outings last week. We all know Jason Verlander showed up in New York, and Tommy Hanson gave up a career high nine runs. So they'll each be looking to return to form.

No Tigers have ever faced Hanson. Justin probably thinks he will homer off him.

Tigers lineup: Jackson 8, Santiago 6, Damon 7, Cabrera 3, Boesch 9, Guillen 4, Kelly 5, Laird 2, Verlander 1.

Braves lineup: Not up yet
