Game Four-8/26/07 7:05 ET

Where Comerica Park, Detroit Michigan.

Game 1:Roger Clemens, 5-5, 3.92 ERA VS Andrew Miller, 5-4, 4.42 ERA

Game one prediction:Yankees are going to want to keep rolling and they all now its starting to get really serious and they are going to want to forget about the Angels series and Clemens will have a good outing. Yankees win: 7-3.

Game 2:Chien-Ming Wang, 14-6, 4.10 ERA VS Jeremy Bonderman, 10-6, 4.65 ERA

Game two prediction:This is going to be one heck of a game and I am very excited to watch this one. Wang and Bonderman are both very good pitchers and so it will be a low scoring game. The Yankees do have the better lineup so I say Yankees prevail: 4-2.

Game 3:Phil Hughes, 2-1 4.96 ERA VS Jair Jurrjens, 1-1, 3.29 ERA

Game three prediction:Hughes is starting to roll and he should have gotten that win in Anaheim. He is hungry to pick up another win and Jurrjens haven't proven anything so Yankees win: 6-3.

Game 4: Mike Mussina, 8-9 5.22 ERA VS Justin Verlander, 13-5 3.94 ERA

Game 4 prediction:We all know Mussina has been struggling and Verlander is just to strong of a pitcher. Moose will come out and struggle once more time and the Yankees will have to leave Detroit with a loss. Yankees lose: 5-2.

Yankees win series:3-1

Series MVP: Alex Rodriguez

Yankees lose and Boston wins again today which puts them 7.0 back from the AL East and 2.5 back from the Wild Card.
