I think this whole "late season collapse" thing's a little bit overrated. They knew they were in the playoffs, so they let down a little bit. St. Louis did the same thing, and then they started winning again when they had to. Honestly, the idea that the Yankees would be more than a 2-1 favorite over a team that won two games less than them just seems crazy to me.

There's no way the Tigers let up. If they only won ONE game against the Royals, the would have home field against the A's instead of going to New York. With Rogers, Bonderman, and Robertson going into the playoffs looking shaky, I don't see Detroit doing much. The Yankees ARE 20 games more talented the Detroit, especially with Matsui and Sheffield returning.
