The New York Yankees (29-23) and Detroit Tigers (21-31) tangle Sunday with a 1:10 p.m. ET first pitch at Comerica Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Yankees vs. Tigers odds with MLB picks and predictions.
RHP Michael King is the projected starting pitcher for the Yankees. He has logged 7 relief appearances this season and Sunday will mark his fifth career start. He is 0-1 with a 2.29 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 8.2 K/9 and 3.7 BB/9 in 19 2/3 IP.
King logged an 8.36 ERA over 4 starts last season, and those four efforts totaled just 14 IP.
LHP Tarik Skubal is the projected starter for the Tigers. He is 1-7 with a 5.23 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, 10.3 K/9 and 4.2 BB/9 in 43 IP over 8 starts and 2 relief stints.
Skubal is an extreme fly-ball pitcher who has been torched by home runs over his young career. In 75 career innings, the 24-year-old southpaw has yielded 22 HR (2.6 HR/9). Current Yankees batters have 2 HR in 14 plate appearances against him.

Prediction
Tigers 4, Yankees 3
Money line (ML)
BACK THE TIGERS +135 as they’re looking for the home sweep. Peg Skubal as being a more average hurler than his line shows, and the Detroit bullpen (5.63 ERA) is due some gravity as well.
The injury-riddled Yankees lineup is a legitimate bottom-third group; don’t pay full freight for a team that batted 2B Rougned Odor in the 2-hole Saturday.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
PASS on the run-line action, but figure a lean on the Detroit side.
Over/Under (O/U)
The Under is 18-7-2 in Detroit home games and 10-16 in New York road games. The Yankees scored 2 or fewer runs in seven of their last 10 games, and with this game largely being bullpen’ed on their end, the UNDER 9 (+100) is the way to go.
