The Tigers’ terrible luck continued in games two and three of the series. Detroit used their bullpen in game one, but Matt Manning started game two. In the first inning, Manning was forced to leave the game after a line drive hit him in the foot. The Tigers’ bullpen had another busy day in game two, so they won’t have many available relievers for the decisive third game. Detroit can’t wait for the season to end, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to do well on the field.
Tigers vs Yankees Betting Picks
For the Tigers, Eduardo Rodriguez is the go-to pitcher. His earned run average is 3.11, his WHIP is 1.12, and his opponents are hitting.229 against him. The left-hander also has a little advantage while pitching away from home. Rodriguez’s 3.03 ERA, increased K/9, decreased BB/9, and decreased home runs allowed may all be attributed to his time spent away from Detroit.
The Yankees have been on a roll lately, winning five straight and eight of their past 10. For the first time in quite some time, New York has a winning record. They are still very much in the hunt for a playoff spot. The Yankees are currently 6.5 games out of the second and last Wild Card place.
They play the Boston Red Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays a combined ten times in the final two weeks of the season. They will be in good condition if they can win seven of those games. The Yankees will also have to defeat some strong opponents from the National League, but they can worry about that later. The Yankees, led by manager Aaron Boone, are showing signs that they still have playoff hopes.
The Yankees are hopeful that Carlos Rodon’s recent start marked a turning point in his season-long pitching struggles. He just led the Yankees to a victory over the Houston Astros after pitching five innings and allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits. Rodon’s home run and walk totals have both increased, but he still keeps his opponents’ batting average down to.228.
