It’s true the tigers won every game they made so far in this season and that is probably the main reason for the yankees to be an underdog, but I do believe everything is going the Yankees side tonight.

Let’s see the pitching, the yankees are sending into the mound D Rasner, he only pitched a game this season, and has a ERA 3.00 but with an important detail, he ahs a WHIP of 0.833 – which is very good and which shows he allowed few hits, he simply was unlucky that those 5 hits generated 2 runs. He strikeout good and showed great control, if we look at his stats from the last 3 seasons, we see that usual on him – so, not the best pitcher of the game, but still a very reliable and regular one.

We can’t say the same about the tigers pitcher tonight, his name is J Bonderman, and he ahs a season ERA of 4.17, but bonderman is quite unstable, he doesn’t pitch with regular control, and he doesn’t strike out that much. So for me is a advantage on pitching for the Yankees, and with a quite similar bullpen, things will be settled by how teams will bat tonight

The Yankees are batting better at the moment (0.300 vs 0.256) and the Yankees have a lot more players batting quite good at the moment, besides that they are surely very bitter about having lost all the games this season to the tigers, they will put their best lineup to win this one.
