Detroit Tigers vs New York Yankees Prediction
The Yankees are going to be favored because they’re the Yankees and they’re at home. The Tigers have also been a mess on the road this season. However, the Yankees are coming off a rough week, and you argue the Tigers have the edge on the mound here. Mize has a 2.95 ERA and 1.07 WHIP on the season and is allowing a .224 batting average. It’s better than what Weathers has done lately, as he’s allowed 27 hits and 18 earned runs in his last 29.1 innings. The Tigers have underachieved all season, but I’ll take a stab with them and the plus money.
