Detroit Tigers at New York Yankees Prediction

Heading into Sunday’s early matchup between Detroit and New York, the Yankees are once again the heavy favorite. On the season, the Tigers have won just 2 games in which Rony Garcia has started. Not only has the right-hander struggled on the mound, but Detroit’s offense doesn’t offer much for run support. I don’t see things changing against Jordan Montgomery and his 1.01 WHIP. I like New York on the runline.
