For a team coming off a pennant, the Yankees have a lot of baseball betting odds questions. First, How much does Goldschmidt have left in the tank? Is this the year Volpe breaks out offensively? What’s the plan at third base? (It could be Oswald Peraza rather than Cabrera.) Also, what do they do at DH while Giancarlo Stanton is sidelined with elbow trouble? In fact, he could miss the entire season if he opts for surgery. History says they’ll rotate players through the DH spot with Judge getting most of those at-bats.

New York Yankees SBG Team Overview
Rice has crushed the ball this spring, and Domínguez’s glovework suggests maybe it should be him. Still, who’s hitting leadoff? Wells has hit three leadoff homers this spring. The Yankees lost Juan Soto in free agency. Thus, they lost so many sportsbook nights from last season. The difference was that the Yankees had Judge and Soto, and the other team did not. It was that simple at times. That dynamic is gone.
Soto is gone, and it’s unclear how much the Yankees improved the “Everyone Else” portion of the lineup. Correlate Bellinger’s pull-heavy fly ball approach should lead to a lot of homers at Yankee Stadium. So too will a full season of Jazz Chisholm help. He hit 24 homers and stole 40 bases a year ago. Hence, he has a real shot at going 30/30 in the Bronx. Last year, Wells was the third-place finisher in the AL Rookie of the Year voting. And then Volpe could take steps forward. Not many folks question Domínguez’s offensive upside.
Detroit Tigers SBG Team Overview
Last year, Detroit ended its decade-long playoff drought, rejuvenating the fan base. The Tigers inspired excitement for this new era of Tigers baseball. Tarik Skubal emerged as one of the best pitchers on the planet, dominating all season. However, he surrendered a devastating grand slam to Lane Thomas in ALDS Game 5.
Subsequently, an interesting offseason followed: Gleyber Torres was brought in to bolster the lineup as the everyday second baseman. Also, Jack Flaherty was brought back after being dealt away at last July’s deadline to reunite with Skubal atop the rotation.
Namely, Riley Greene takes another leap, powering an improved lineup alongside Torres. He could make another All-Star appearance and a top-10 MVP finish. Kerry Carpenter should continue to demolish right-handed pitching to a ridiculous degree. Skubal and Flaherty will lead a breakout rotation. Also featured is AL Rookie of the Year Jackson Jobe and a resurgence from former No. 1 pick Casey Mize. Spencer Torkelson, another former No. 1 pick, bounces back and leads the team in home runs. The Tigers could win their first division title since 2014. Also, AJ Hinch may win Manager of the Year.
The Tigers benefit from enviable depth in the upper minors, which the Royals lack. Thus, they are in a position to stay in the mix throughout a long season. They should remain in the wild-card race through September before coming up just short. Still, the Detroit offense continues to underwhelm relative to other AL contenders.
