Yankees vs. Tigers MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Give me the Yankees. Schmidt hasn’t been great of late, although he is coming off a solid outing against the Rays last Saturday. He allowed three runs across 6 2/3 innings, although only one of those runs were earned and the innings were a season high. As for Manning, he exited his start last Friday after he slipped on the mound and tweaked his back. He threw a bullpen session on Monday in preparation for tonight but he’s battled through lower back issues throughout the season. Plus, this Yankees team is starting to heat up offensively.
