Yankees vs. Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 4, Yankees 3

Moneyline

The Yankees are an MLB-best 41-24 away from home this season. They have won 4 straight series away from Yankee Stadium.

The Tigers are 16-8 in Skubal’s starts and have won 4 of his last 5 outings.

The Tigers are playing good baseball right now, allowing 2 or fewer runs in 4 of their last 5 games.

BET TIGERS (-125).

Run line/Against the spread

Three of the Tigers’ last 5 wins have been by only 1 run.

The Yankees are 17-3 ATS as underdogs away from home.

But betting the Yankees to cover +1.5 at -210 doesn’t give you any value.

PASS. 

Over/Under

Four of the 5 meetings between these teams this season have ended with 7 or fewer total runs (the outlier had 8). Nine of the Tigers’ last 12 games have not reached 8 total runs.

Three of the Yankees’ last 4 games have stayed under 8.

BET UNDER 7.5 (+100).

The New York Yankees (72-50) and Detroit Tigers (59-63) clash in a Friday-Sunday series in the Motor City. Friday’s opener at Comerica Park is slated for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Tigers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Yankees lead 3-0

New York is continuing a road trip that opened with the Yankees taking 2 of 3 at the Chicago White Sox. The Yankees swept Detroit in a low-scoring 3-game series at Yankee Stadium May 3-5, and New York is 11-2 across its last 13 games against the Motor City Kitties.

The Tigers have been a mercurial team this season, ebbing and flowing with stretches of win streaks and dominance and losing skids and ineptitude. They head into this set on a 4-game win streak.

Yankees at Tigers projected starters

RHP Gerrit Cole vs. undecided

Cole (3-2, 4.70 ERA) makes his 10th start. He has a 1.41 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 10.2 K/9 in 46 IP.

• Last outing: No-decision, 5 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 2 BB, 10 K in 9-4 loss vs. Texas Rangers Saturday
• Career vs. Tigers: 9-1, 1.99 ERA (77 IP, 17 ER), 55 H, 21 BB, 98 K in 13 starts
• current Tigers batters own an aggregate .554 OPS against him,mper ESPN

Rookie LHP Brian Hurter is a possibility for the Tigers, either as a starter or in a bullpen role. The 25-year-old has appeared in 2 games out of the Detroit bullpen. He has allowed 3 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 8 K in 8 IP.

Yankees at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, Tigers 4

Moneyline

PASS: Look to leverage a Detroit lean on the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

The Tigers are 7-4 over their last 11 games and 7 of those 11 have been 1-run affairs. Detroit pitching owns a tidy 2.42 ERA since Aug. 4, and the Yankees are just 2-5 over their last 7 road-series openers.

Cole is coming off perhaps his finest start in truncated season after a spring training injury. But the veteran hurler has also failed to go more than 6 frames in any start and has gone less than 6 in each of his last 3.

Detroit’s pitching is a wild card for this game, but the Tigers have some staff mojo and in the 2nd half have had the better bullpen.

TAKE THE TIGERS +1.5 (-106).

Over/Under

The Over has cashed in 9 of New York’s last 10 games on the road.

Advanced analytics peg both teams as having expected runs vs. actual pointing to higher scoring games and on both sides of the ball.

While buying into a 22-cent hold is not ideal, the OVER 8 (-115) is the lean.

The Detroit Tigers (65-68) and New York Yankees (59-74) meet at Comerica Park Thursday for the finale of a 4-game series. First pitch is set for 1:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Tigers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Yankees lead 3-0

The Yankees are 5-5 over their last 10 games and 29-35 on the road this season. New York won 6-2 Wednesday, its 3rd straight victory, but still sits last in the AL East and is 10 games back of the final AL Wild Card.

The Tigers are one of the worst teams in the MLB at home, posting just a 28-40 record. Detroit is 3-7 over its last 10 games and sits 4th in the AL Central and is 16 games back of an AL Wild Card.

Yankees at Tigers projected starters

RHP Clarke Schmidt vs. RHP Matt Manning

Schmidt (8-8, 4.51 ERA) makes his 27th start and 28th appearance. He has a 1.32 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 through 129 2/3 IP.

• Last start: Loss, 6 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 5 K in 3-0 road loss vs. Tampa Bay Rays Saturday
• 2023 road stats: 5-3, 5.25 ERA in 58 1/3 IP in 12 starts

Manning (5-4, 3.93 ERA) makes his 14th start. He has a 1.06 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 5.7 K/9 through 71 IP.

• Last start: No-decision, 6 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 0 BB, 3 K in a 4-1 home win vs. Houston Astros Friday
• 2023 home stats: 1-2, 4.56 ERA in 25 2/3 IP in 5 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Yankees at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, Tigers 3

Moneyline

BET YANKEES (-125).

The Yankees have been dominating this series, winning every game by at least two runs. New York is 10 games outside of an AL Wild Card spot, so it doesn’t have a ton to play for here. Regardless, it has been the better and more consistent side.

The Tigers are 21-33 this season as home underdogs, the 8th-worst win rate in the MLB in this situation. New York is 47-49 vs. the AL while Detroit is just 40-53.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

There really just isn’t much value here.

Given New York has covered the last 3 games and it is 14-16 on the run line as a road favorite, there is some value on the Yankees spread. However, at these odds, I’d rather play them to win outright.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 8.5 (-110).

The Yankees are 61-66-6 O/U this season and have gone 1-3-1 O/U in their last 5 games. They have gone Under in 3 of Schmidt’s last 5 starts.

The Over has yet to hit in the Tigers-Yankees series.

The Tigers are 65-62-5 O/U this season but are 2-3-1 O/U over their last 6 games. Detroit has scored 2 or fewer runs in its last 3 games and hasn’t scored more than 4 runs since Aug. 22. Manning is one of Detroit’s better pitchers, and the total has gone Under in 3 straight starts for him.

Take UNDER 8.5 (-110).

The New York Yankees (64-68) and Detroit Tigers (59-73) play the 3rd game of a 4-game series Wednesday at Comerica Park. First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Tigers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Yankees lead 2-0

The Yankees won 4-2 as -107 favorites in the 2nd game of the series Tuesday. Yankees 2B Gleyber Torres homered for the 2nd night in a row as the Bronx Bombers won back-to-back games for the 1st time since Aug. 2-3.

The Tigers have lost 4 straight games and have been outscored by 27 runs over that stretch.

Yankees at Tigers projected starters

RHP Gerrit Cole vs. TBD

Cole (11-4, 2.95 ERA) makes his 28th start. He has a 1.04 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 9.7 K/9 in 168 innings.

• Last start: Win, 7 2/3 IP, 2 R (1 ER), 3 H, 0 BB, 11 K in 6-2 victory at Tampa Bay Rays Friday
• 2023 road stats: 4-2, 2.48 ERA (76 1/3 IP, 21 ER) in 12 starts
• Career vs. Tigers: 7-1, 1.94 ERA (65 IP, 14 ER), 43 H, 19 BB, 84 K in 11 starts — last faced Detroit in 2022

LHP Joey Wentz is expected to pitch multiple innings. Wentz (2-10, 6.62 ERA) has made 17 starts and 2 relief appearances this season. The rookie has a 1.65 WHIP, 3.7 BB/9 and 8.2 K/9 in 84 1/3 innings.

• Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 3 K in 4-1 loss at Cleveland Guardians Aug. 18

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Yankees at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 6, Tigers 3

Moneyline

The Yankees (-225) should win their 3rd straight game, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when New York should win by multiple runs.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or the total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

Wentz is coming off 1 of his best performances of the season and should revert back to his usual self Wednesday. He faces a Yankees lineup that has been hitting better lately and is relying on a Tigers offense that is averaging just 2.25 runs over its last 4 games.

Cole has obviously been dominant vs. the Tigers in his career and should have no trouble setting up the Yankees for a blowout win.

BET YANKEES -1.5 (-130).

Over/Under

While I don’t expect the Tigers to score a lot of runs vs. Cole, the Yankees should be able to run up the score against Wentz and Detroit’s relievers.

The Over is 29-23-1 (55.8%) this season when the Tigers are home underdogs, according to TeamRankings.com, and I have no faith in Detroit’s pitching staff to keep this game low-scoring Wednesday.

BET OVER 7.5 (-120).

The New York Yankees (62-68) and Detroit Tigers (59-71) open up a 4-game set at Comerica Park Monday. First pitch is at 6:40 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Tigers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Yankees won 5-1 last year

The Yankees stumble into this series just 2-8 over their last 10 games and 5-15 over the last 20. They’re in last place in the AL East and 11 games out of a Wild Card spot in what is increasingly looking like a lost season.

The Tigers are just 3 games behind the Yankees as their rebuild continues. They’ve been playing .500 ball lately, going 5-5 and 10-10 over the last 10 and 20 games, respectively. Detroit is just 5-20 against the AL East this season.

Yankees at Tigers projected starters

RHP Luis Severino vs. RHP Reese Olson

Severino (3-8, 7.26 ERA) makes his 16th start and 17th appearance. He has a 1.75 WHIP, 3.9 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9 through 74 1/3 IP.

• Last start: Win, 6 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 2 BB, 2 K Wednesday against Washington Nationals
• Last 5 starts vs. Tigers: 3-0, 1.65 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, 41 K in 32 2/3 IP

Olson (2-5, 5.29 ERA) makes his 13th start and 16th appearance. He has a 1.25 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 9.0 K/9 through 68 IP.

• Last start: No-decision, 4 2/3 IP, 6 ER, 4 H, 3 BB, 7 K Tuesday against Chicago Cubs
• Home/road splits: 2-3, 5.53 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 10.0 K/9 in 42 1/3 IP at home vs. 0-2, 4.91 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 7.4 K/9 in 25 2/3 IP on road

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Yankees at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 6, Yankees 4

Moneyline

Severino is coming off his best start of the season by a mile as he was able to command his fastball and get ahead early. That fastball has been pulverized to a .346 clip this year after a .186 OBA against it last season. The Tigers are scoring runs as they’ve plated 4 or more in 8 of 10 games. I’m going to fade Severino and the Yankees and roll with the TIGERS (-115).

Run line/Against the spread

Detroit’s side is the only one to consider here, but we’re not paying -190.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Yankees are 7-3 O/U over the last 10, and Detroit is 5-5. The Over is just 3-7 in the last 10 between the teams, but none of those took place this year. Severino has pitched to the Over in 4 of 5 starts and Olson has pitched to the Over in his last 2 and 3 of 5. I’m a little surprised this isn’t 9 or more.

Take the OVER 8.5 (-110).
