Yankees Smack Tigers in Game 1
With Stroman on the mound, the Yankees are going to get good starting pitching. Detroit struggles to hit anyways. Olson has been pretty good for Detroit, but ran into some bad luck in his starts. We look for that to continue. The Yankees score a couple off Olson and win this game.
We are going to take the New York Yankees -155 over the Detroit Tigers and also take the UNDER 7.5. We like the Yankees to win this one 4-2 over the Tigers. Enjoy the game and good luck!
