Yankees vs. Tigers picks and predictions
Prediction
Tigers 4, Yankees 3
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).
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.
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.
