The New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers settle up their weekend series today at 2:05PM ET. Which team will come out with the victory?
The Tigers have Michael Fulmer on the mound to face Michael Pineda of the Yankees. According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, New York is favored at home.

Pitching has certainly been the theme in the first two games, which leads me to believe that Sunday’s game favors the Tigers. Fulmer has been very impressive, putting up a 6-1 record with a 2.83 ERA. Pineda hasn’t been the same, as he is just 3-6 on the year with a 6.14 ERA. The Tigers should be able to find some runs against that, even on the road. Look for Fulmer to continue his strong season and get the Tigers a win.
