Detroit Tigers vs New York Yankees Prediction: An open contest for both sides to grab

Monday's Major League Baseball action from Comerica Park features a matchup between the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers. The Yankees just finished a series against the Tampa Bay Rays, so they are fresh off that win. Following a draw in the first two games of the weekend series, New York was defeated in the Sunday rubber match by a score of three runs. As for the Detroit Tigers, they just finished a set against the Houston Astros, in which they split the first two games of the series. The Tigers were defeated badly in the third game of the series.

On Friday, the Detroit Tigers defeated the Houston Astros by a score of 4-1, but they were defeated by a score of 9-2 in game two. That run was driven by Riley Greene and Parker Meadows, who each contributed one. The Detroit Tigers were routed by a score of 17-4 on Sunday, and they gave up a staggering 25 hits. Both Miguel Cabrera and Zach McKinstry hit home runs along the road, and McKinstry's was the only one that drove in runs. Reese Olson will take the mound for the Detroit Tigers on Monday as the team's starting pitcher. In 2023, over the course of 15 games (12 starts), Olson had a record of 2-5 with a 5.29 ERA and 68 strikeouts in 68.0 innings pitched. Olson's record over his previous seven starts is 1-3, and his earned run average during that span is 6.49. The Tigers have failed to win any of their last seven night matches against teams from the American League East, which will be a huge concern for them. In addition, the run line bets that the Tigers have had to cover in each of their last seven games as favorites against teams from the American League East have been successful. Also, the Tigers have been in a losing position after the first three innings of each of their last four games.

On Friday, the New York Yankees defeated their division rivals, the Tampa Bay Rays, by a score of 6-2. However, in game two of the series, the Yankees were defeated by a score of 3-0. DJ LeMahieu of New York had the only two hits for his team throughout that loss. In their loss to the Boston Red Sox on Sunday, the New York Yankees managed only four hits as a team. Home runs were hit by LeMahieu, Anthony Volpe, and Kyle Higashioka, respectively. Luis Severino is going to take the mound for the New York Yankees as their opening pitcher for the game on Monday. Severino has pitched 74.1 innings and appeared in 16 games, starting 15 of them. He has a 3-8 record with a 7.26 ERA and 63 strikeouts. In his last seven outings, Severino has a record of 2-4 along with a 7.11 earned run average (ERA).

In this first game, I'm most likely going to side with the New York Yankees. On the other hand, I am not suggesting that it will be an easy one for them, as it is difficult to put one's faith in Severino (and New York as a whole) at the moment. Severino, on the other hand, had a successful outing in his previous start, which resulted in a victory over the Washington Nationals and included just one hit and two walks. However, prior to this, Severino had a record of 0-2 with seven earned runs allowed in 6.0 innings pitched. It's difficult to speculate which side of him will show up in the first episode of this series. There were a few exciting moments for the New York Yankees at the plate on Sunday, but overall, their offensive performance was lackluster. I believe the New York Yankees have a chance to win this game, as I expect Severino to have another strong performance for them.
