Money Line Pick for Detroit Tigers vs. New York Yankees
- Detroit Tigers ML (4 Units)
The Tigers have won three of their last five games, while the Yankees have split their last four home games. Detroit has the edge here because they've hit the ball well against right-handers, and they're going up against Schlittler, who has been shaky on the mound and gave up five runs in his last two starts. With New York's bullpen also struggling, they will have a hard time slowing down the Tigers.
New York won't be as successful offensively because Skubal has been dominant on the mound in recent starts and didn't give up a run in three of his last four starts. He gave up only three runs in his last three starts against the Yankees and will keep their offense in check. Take Detroit on the money line.
Over/Under Pick for Detroit Tigers vs. New York Yankees
- Under (4 Units)
The Yankees played under the total in three of their last four games. New York averages 5.22 runs per game and 5.01 runs per game at home. They're batting .259 against left-handers, and they're facing a starter who gave up three runs in his last three starts against them. The Tigers average 4.88 runs per game and 4.61 runs per game on the road. They're batting .242 against right-handers, and they're facing a starter who gave up six runs in his last three home starts. Don't expect these teams to score enough runs to push the score over the total. The Tigers and Yankees played under the total in three of their last five meetings.
