The Detroit Tigers begin an AL weekend series with the New York Yankees in the Big Apple. These teams met earlier this season with the Yankees grabbing the series with a 2-1 advantage.
Detroit Tigers
Detroit has been much better recently, sporting a 6-2 record in their last 8 games against the Guardians and Twins. The pitching staff is decimated with injuries but they have a strong bullpen that ranks third in the Majors.
The Tigers are still waiting for Javier Baez to find a groove. The 29-year-old shortstop was signed to a large six-year deal but has not been able to produce, bashing only 3 homers with 13 RBIs and an abysmal .542 OPS.
The Tigers are scoring an average of 2.86 runs per game, ranking them last. The pitching staff enters with a 3.55 team ERA, good for 8th overall.
New York Yankees
Heading into the game, the New York Yankees have an overall record of 36-15. When playing at home, the team has gone 18-7. In the AL East division, New York currently sits atop the loaded division, 5 games ahead of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Throughout the season, the Yankees have not had to turn to their bullpen for major innings. The team’s relief corps has combined for one of the lower ERA’s in the MLB at 3.15.
During the season, the New York Yankees have performed well on offense, averaging 4.67 runs per game. The team comes into the game with an overall run differential of 79.0. The Yankees come into the game with a strong team batting average of 0.240. On their balls in play, New York has the 3rd ranked BABIP of 0.288. With runners on base, the Yankees are averaging just 0.63 stolen bases per game.
New York has been strong on defense, ranking 3rd in fewest errors at 0.39 per game. The team’s defense is turning double plays below the league average, at just 0.63 per contest.

Detroit Tigers vs. New York Yankees MLB Prediction:
The Tigers have been competitive recently, posting a 7-3 record in their last ten games. They often play the Yankees tough. They went 3-3 against NY last year and while they lost two of three in the first series in April, they were only outscored by a 9-8 margin in the three games.
Furthermore, the Tigers have been dealing with a decimated pitching staff and are still fielding great numbers on the mound. The Tigers bullpen actually ranks higher than the Yankees, sporting a 2.83 bullpen ERA compared to a 3.13 ERA from the Yankees’ pen.
Give me the Tigers to cover the run-line with great odds.
