Tigers vs Yankees Prediction
The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Tigers have looked great in their games this season with their 82-62 record overall which has them right at the top of the AL Central with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They have been a good road team too with their 36-33 road record this season. Meanwhile, the Yankees have looked really good in their games this season with their 80-63 record overall which has them right near the top of the AL East. They have also looked great in their own ballpark this year with their 43-29 home record. The Yankees have also been rolling in their games lately as they are 7-3 in their last 10 games while the Tigers are only 4-6, and the Yankees do have the better pitching matchup in this one too. The Yankees are going with Rodon in this one and he has looked great this year. He is 16-7 with a 3.12 ERA and leads the team in wins this year. He hasn't been giving up many runs lately either, only giving up 1 earned run in his last start which has been a common theme for him all year. The team has also had a ton of success with him starting, winning 6 games in a row now with him on the mound. The Tigers are going with Flaherty in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 7-13 with a 4.85 ERA and has been giving up quite a few runs lately. He is coming off another bad start in which he gave up 4 earned runs and the team hasn't had much success with him lately either, losing 3 games in a row now with him on the mound. Both of these teams have had great pitching staffs all season, but the Yankees do have the edge at home with Rodon starting. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game.

Notable Quotes
“Ten free passes, either by a walk or a hit-by-pitch. We thought we were getting away with it for a while, and then in the end we couldn’t. It’s just more opportunities as more guys roll in the lineup, kinda got to deal with the top of their lineup. Again, it just wasn’t a good day on the mound for us with the free passes.” - A.J. Hinch after his team’s loss against the White Sox in their game on Sunday.
“He really buckled down. To get us seven innings [when] we were a little short at the back today, I thought it was a really good effort.” - Aaron Boone after his team’s win against the Blue Jays in their game on Sunday.
