Tigers at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 3, Tigers 2

Moneyline

BET YANKEES (-125).

New York has won back-to-back games and is 3-1 in its last 3 games, while the Tigers are only 2-3 in their last 5 overall and 0-3 in their last 3 road games. The Yankees are also 8-2 in their last 10 matchups vs. Detroit overall.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I like Detroit to cover here, as 3 of its last 6 matchups with New York have finished within a 1-run margin, but +1.5 (-210) is not worth betting on. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7 (-120).

The Under has hit in 2 of Detroit’s last 3 overall and is 4-2 in its last 6 games. For New York, the Under is 4-1-1 in its last 6 games. The Under has also hit in 4 of the last 6 Detroit-New York matchups and is 6-3-1 in the last 10 meetings.

Analyzing Thursday’s Detroit Tigers at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Detroit Tigers (63-76) and New York Yankees (70-69) meet Thursday for the finale of a 3-game series. First pitch from Yankee Stadium is set for 7:05 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Tigers vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Yankees lead 5-1

New York won 4-3 as a -162 road favorite in Wednesday’s 2nd game of the series. The Yankees led 4-1 heading into the top of the 7th when the Tigers made a comeback push. Detroit scored 2 runs in that inning, but its comeback fell short.

Wednesday’s win extended New York’s win streak to 5 games. The Yankees are 8-2 in their last 10 and 38-33 at home. Detroit has now lost back-to-back games, sitting at 4-6 in its last 10 and 34-36 on the road.

Tigers at Yankees projected starters

LHP Eduardo Rodriguez vs. LHP Carlos Rodon

Rodriguez (10-7, 3.11 ERA) makes his 22nd start. He has a 1.12 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 8.9 K/9 in 124 1/3 innings.

  • Last outing: Win, 6 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 2 BB, 7 K in a 4-2 road win Friday vs. the Chicago White Sox
  • Career vs. New York (regular season): 8-6, 3.76 ERA (122 IP, 51 ER), 1.32 WHIP, 8.6 K/9 in 24 appearances (22 starts)

Tigers at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 3, Tigers 2

Moneyline

PASS.

I like the Yankees to complete the series sweep, but at (-160) the line is not worth the juice. Bet on the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

LEAN TIGERS +1.5 (-155).

The Yankees have dominated the Tigers lately, but the games have been much closer than records would indicate. Two of the last 3 meetings and 3 of the last 7 have finished within a 1-run margin. Despite being 2-8 in the last 10 games vs. New York, the Tigers have kept the games competitive, making them the pick here.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8.5 (-110). 

The Under is 7-2-1 in the last 10 Detroit-New York matchups, 7-2-1 in Detroit’s last 10 games overall, and 6-2-2 in New York’s last 10 overall.

For Rodriguez the Under is 4-1 in his last 5 starts overall and 2-1 in his last 3 starts vs. New York. For Rodon the Under is 2-0-1 in his last 3 starts vs. Detroit.

Detroit Tigers at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Detroit Tigers at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Detroit Tigers (21-30) hit the road to face the New York Yankees (36-15) Friday in the first of a 3-game set at Yankee Stadium. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. ET (Apple TV+). Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Tigers vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: The Yankees lead 2-1 after winning 4-2, 5-3 and losing 3-0 in mid-April.

The Tigers have won 7 of their last 9 games, including 4 against the division-leading Minnesota Twins. They remain 8 games out of 1st in the AL Central.

The Yankees are coming off a 3-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels and have won 7 of their last 9 as well. They lead the AL East by 5 1/2 over the Toronto Blue Jays.

Tigers at Yankees projected starters

RHP Elvin Rodriguez vs. RHP Gerrit Cole

Rodriguez (0-0, 6.17 ERA) makes his 3rd career start and 4th appearance. He has a 1.20 WHIP, 3.9 BB/9 and a 7.7 K/9 through 11 2/3 IP.

  • Relies on a fastball, changeup, slider and curveball, and his heater averages 93 mph.
  • The spin rate on his fastball is in the 87th percentile and opponents are hitting .150 against it. It’s his changeup that has gotten him in trouble as the developing pitch has yielded a .273 batting average.

Cole (4-1, 3.12 ERA) makes his 11th start. He has a 1.04 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 11.2 K/9 through 57 2/3 IP.

  • Cole’s fastball has averaged 98 mph this year with a spin rate in the 94th percentile. He’s 3-0 with a 1.75 ERA in his last 5 starts against the Tigers.
  • His last start against them went a career-low 1 2/3 innings April 22. A rain delay may have thrown him off as he walked 5 batters and allowed 2 runs in a game the Yankees would eventually win 4-2.
  • Current Tigers hitters are hitting just .215 against him with a 31.4% K-rate.

Tigers at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, Tigers 2

Money line

This line is a little dangerous because of how bad Cole was earlier this year against the Tigers and the run that they’re on. The lights in Yankee Stadium just may prove too bright for the rookie Rodriguez in his 3rd major league start.

You can’t risk -350 on the home side here, but you could consider YANKEES -0.5 FIRST 5 INNINGS (-180). You’re still risking nearly twice your potential return, but the combination of Cole and the fierce Yankees offense seems worth it.

Run line/Against the spread

The Yankees’ run line should sneak by, but picking a team to win by 3 runs at even money is risky. Sticking with the first 5 innings, we can expect them to get an early lead with a jittery pitcher in Yankee Stadium.

Take the YANKEES -1.5 FIRST 5 INNINGS (+100).

Over/Under

The Yankees have surprisingly been an Under team of late with it cashing in 5 of their last 6 games. The Under cashed in the Tigers’ last 3 games, which were wins over the Twins. The Under cashed in 2 of the 3 meetings in April, and it’s 6-1 in the last 7 matchups between these sides. The Over could cash if Rodriguez gets rocked, but LEAN UNDER 7.5 (+100).

Detroit Tigers at New York Yankees odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Detroit Tigers at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Detroit Tigers (8-20) try to prevent a three-game sweep by the New York Yankees (13-14) Sunday when they meet for a 1:05 p.m. ET first pitch at Yankee Stadium. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Tigers vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.

The Yankees beat the Tigers in the first two games by a combined score of 16-4 thanks to an eruption by RF Aaron Judge, who is 5-for-9 with 2 HR and 8 RBIs so far in this series.

Season series: Yankees 2-0.

RHP José Ureña makes his sixth start of the season for the Tigers Sunday. Ureña is 1-3 with a 3.77 ERA (28 2/3 IP, 12 ER), 1.43 WHIP, 4.7 BB/9 and 6.6 K/9 this season.

  • Last outing: Win in 7 IP with 1 ER, 7 H, 3 BB and 2 K in Detroit’s 5-2 victory at the Chicago White Sox Tuesday (4 days rest).
  • Career vs. the Yankees: 0-1 with a 2.16 ERA (8 1/3 IP, 2 ER), 1.68 WHIP and 3.2 K/9 in 2 starts, both at Yankee Stadium.

RHP Corey Kluber takes the mound for the Yankees. Kluber is 1-2 with a 4.15 ERA (21 2/3 IP, 10 ER), 1.71 WHIP, 5.4 BB/9 and 7.9 K/9 across 5 starts.

  • Last outing: Win in 6 2/3 IP with 1 ER, 6 H, 2 BB and 5 K in New York’s 5-1 victory at the Baltimore Orioles Tuesday.
  • Career vs. the Tigers: 12-7 with a 3.48 ERA (163 IP, 63 ER), 1.15 WHIP and 9.6 K/9 over 25 starts and 1 relief appearance.

  • Over/Under: 9 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Prediction

Yankees 9, Tigers 2

Money line (ML)

PASS because New York’s bats are starting to come alive, but the Yankees’ ML price (-275) is too rich for my blood.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Kluber just had his best outing of the season last time out and is very familiar with the Tigers from his nine-year stint with the AL Central rival Cleveland Indians from 2011-19.

He’s won five straight games against Detroit—all of which were quality starts—Kluber has a 0.94 ERA and a 42/3 K/BB ratio in those games.

Kluber is set up well for another strong outing since Detroit’s lineup is in the bottom-5 teams in wRC+, wOBA and OPS vs. right-handed pitching this season.

However, since there’s a lot of vig for New York’s regular run line, I “LEAN” to the YANKEES -1.5 (+100) in the FIRST 5 INNINGS for a half unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

GIMME the OVER 9 (-105) for a three-fourths unit for a few reasons.

First, despite Kluber’s historical dominance against Detroit, the current Tigers hitters have solid production in the batter’s box vs. Kluber.

For instance, in 136 at-bats, Detroit’s current lineup is slashing .309/.343/.574 slash line (batting average/on-base percentage/slugging percentage) with 9 HR and 18 RBIs. So perhaps, the Tigers do a little damage early to Kluber and chip in on this Over.

Second, I like New York’s chances at chasing Ureña early and Detroit’s ‘pen has the highest home run per 9 innings rate, the third-highest SIERA and fourth-highest xFIP.

Lastly, Yankee Stadium is notoriously a hitter-friendly ballpark and the weather forecast predicts double-digit MPH winds blowing out to center field.
