Yeah, but you're talking about a 162 game sample size versus a five game sample size. If the Yankees and Tigers played 162 games and you believe in extrapolation, do you think the Yankees would outscore the Tigers by 350 runs?
Moreover, I think the Yanks actually had a better cumulative ERA from their starters (and definitely did from their bullpen). The LOB numbers are pretty comparable - Tigers 32 over five games, Yankees 40 with 11 of those coming last night - so I'm not positive either team did a particularly sound job of bringing runners home in the series.
