Detroit hitters played most of their games in the American League with a designated hitter. The giants hitters played most of their games in the National League without a designated hitter. We need to choose our DH wisely my friends.

I think you have to go with Huff. The Tigers have all RH starters and he part-time DH'd for both Baltimore and Tampa Bay back in the day.

It would appear the Giants have the edge in the manufactured run department.

That's good, 'cause Detroit's pitching is gonna be tough.
