Tigers still have a fighting chance against the Rangers. This is why

The pressure is all on the Tigers after they lost the first games of the American League Championship Series at Texas.
But it will it take just one win tonight to put it back on the Rangers.
This is a series where I think home field advantage is a bigger-than-usual factor. It's not so much because the Tigers have speed to cope with their spacious stadium (they don't), but experience with the nuances of Comerica Park, which are extreme compared to the band box in Texas.
Unlike the Tigers' foes in the AL Central, the Rangers come in only once or twice per year and traditionally haven't done well.
The Rangers have won only four of their last 20 games at Comerica Park dating back to 2007.
