Can the Yankees Bounce Back?

The Yankees and Tigers faced off on Monday, and the offense just wasn’t good enough, as they ended up losing 6-2. The Yankees actually outhit the Tigers 7-5, but they still didn’t play well enough, as they ended up losing. Carlos Rodon wasn’t awful but wasn’t great, as he went six innings, giving up four hits and five runs. Before the loss on Monday, the Yankees had won four games in a row. 

Overall, the Yankees still have the top offense in baseball, averaging 7.8 runs per game. The Yankees are expected to send Carlos Carrasco out to the mound. He has a 1-0 record and an ERA of 7.46. Against the Arizona Diamondbacks, he went 5.1 innings, giving up five hits and three runs. 

Why the Yankees Will Beat the Tigers

  • The Yankees have won five of their last six games as underdogs against American League opponents following a loss.
  • The Tigers have lost five of their last six Tuesday games as home favorites against AL East opponents.
  • The Yankees have covered the run line in each of their last seven games as underdogs against American League opponents following a loss.
  • The Tigers have failed to cover the run line in each of their last six Tuesday games as home favorites against AL East opponents.

Tigers Class of the AL Central?

The Tigers believe they are the best team in the division, and they sure looked good on Monday. The offense scored three runs in the third inning to get the scoring going, and they never looked back on the way to the victory. Justyn-Henrry Malloy had a solid hit and drove in two RBIs. Andy Ibanez also hit a home run and drove in three RBis. The Tigers are hot and have won four games in a row. 

The Tigers are averaging 5.1 runs, while the pitching is giving up 4.1 runs per game. In this game, the pitching is going to need to have another strong game. Tarik Skubal is expected to start in goal, and he sits with a 0-2 record and an ERA of 5.91. It has been a disappointing start to the season. Against the Seattle Mariners, he went 5.2 innings, giving up six hits and three runs. 

Total Goals Facts

  • Seven of the Tigers’ last eight day games against AL East opponents have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • Each of the Yankees’ last four day games against AL Central opponents have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in six of the Yankees’ last seven road games.
  • The ‘Inning 1 OVER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in five of the Tigers’ last six home games.

New York Yankees vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

Give me the Yankees here in a big bounce-back spot. Skubal might still be one of the best pitchers in baseball, but he hasn’t looked comfortable yet. In his last start, he gave up six hits and three runs, and it’s going to get even worse here. The Yankees have the top offense in all of baseball, and even though they struggled on Monday, they are going to bounce back in a big spot here. The Trusting Carrasco might be scary, but he’s going to do enough here, especially with this number for the underdog. Back the Yankees.
