Why The Tigers Will Cover The Spread/Win

The Tigers are struggling to hit the baseball. So far, they are 22nd in batting average and 23rd in on-base percentage. But the Tigers are also 19th in runs, 22nd in home runs, and 21st in slugging percentage.

The Tigers need their top three hitters to club the ball. Ultimately, it means Riley Greene, Mark Canha, and Spencer Torkelson must find ways to get on base and produce runs. These three are the core of the lineup. If they can find ways to generate chances, the rest of the lineup can follow suit.

The Tigers have a good pitching staff. Significantly, they are fourth in team ERA and third in walks per hits per innings pitched. The Tigers are also solid in the pen. Currently, their bullpen ranks seventh in baseball. Look for the pitching staff to try and keep the success going as they face a dangerous lineup.

The Tigers will cover the spread if they can generate some early scoring and build a lead. Then, they need to avoid making critical mistakes against some of the best hitters in baseball.

Why The Yankees Will Cover The Spread/Win

The Yankees have found some early success because they are finding ways to score. However, that went away against the Orioles and the Yanks hope to get it back. New York is 12th in batting average. However, they are also just 23rd in on-base percentage. But the Yankees are also ninth in runs and second in home runs. Likewise, they are 10th in slugging percentage.

Anthony Volpe is hoping to get the Yankees going at the start of the lineup. Yet, he has struggled against the Tigers in his career. Volpe is hitting just .192 with two home runs, four RBIs, and four runs over seven games. Therefore, he has to find ways to improve against this team. Juan Soto is batting .263 (five hits) with three home runs, seven RBIs, and six runs over six games against the Tigers. Amazingly, 60 percent of his hits have gone out of the park.

Aaron Judge is hitting .288 with seven home runs, 20 RBIs, and 26 runs over 33 games against the Tigers. Remarkably, 20 percent of his hits have gone out of the yard for home runs.

The Yankees remain one of the best pitching staffs in the majors. Significantly, they are third in pitching. They also have the second-best bullpen in baseball.

The Yankees will cover the spread if they can club some runs early. Then, they need to dominate this Detroit lineup.

Final Tigers-Yankees Prediction & Pick

Mize is having a rebirth season. Now, he faces a tough test as he pitches at Yankees Stadium during a day game. Expect this to be a tough test for the young pitcher. Yet, he will find a way to control his pitches and avoid making mistakes. Mize finds the strike zone more often than not and outduels Schmidt to help the Tigers win this game and cover the spread on the road.
