What we've seen from Burnett lately has been positive (three good outings in a row), but you have to keep in mind that two of them were against the Mariners and the Royals. Those are, quite possibly, the two worst hitting teams in the AL. You're kidding yourself if you don't think Burnett is a huge question mark, and the possibility of the ALDS coming down to Burnett vs. Verlander is not a good thought.
