Baseball Betting: Yankees vs. Tigers Bets and Game Analysis. The New York Yankees depart the Bronx after a somewhat disappointing 4-5 homestand which ended Sunday.

The pitching matchup in tonight’s series opener finds two righthanders squaring off. Ivan Nova (10-5, 4.53 ERA) who struggled in his last outing against Baltimore, allowing 9 runs in 5 innings takes the hill for the Yankees. Tigers ace Justin Verlander (11-7, 2.63 ERA) throws for the Tigers. Verlander has not fared well against the Bronx Bombers of late, going 0-2 with a 4.91 earned run average the last five time he’s faced them.
Detroit is still a home favorite in this one at -$172, while New York is a +$162. The over/under of 8 total runs is on a $115/$100 moneyline.
