While the teams are pretty evenly matched, there are some intangibles and notable qualities of the team, city and state which make the Tigers favorites in the World Series. (At least in my opinion.) Here is why Detroit will win: When you combine these ingredients and add a pinch of desire to avenge last year's American League Championship series loss to the Texas Rangers, you can see the Tigers are a hungry bunch. Just ask the Yankees, who were swept in four straight games during this year's ALCS. When they win, Tigers fans will celebrate …
