Date/Time: Thu, Oct 18 / 04:10:00 PM ET, Comerica Park, Detroit, MichiganJust one game. That’s all the New York Yankees need to stay alive. It’s also what’s standing between the Detroit Tigers and a spot in the World Series. Any punter who bets baseball and checks the odds on MLB knows that this game promises to be an edge-of-your-seater.
But the Yankees are after more than just getting on the board. They’ve got their pride on the line as they do everything in their power to avoid being swept. It’s something that hasn’t happened since the 1980 ALCS. That’s 32 years, which also happens to be the same age as the Yankee’s starting pitcher tonight.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Yankees LH CC Sabathia (2-0, 1.53 ERA) vs. Tigers RH Max Scherzer (0-0, 0.00)
New York sends CC Sabathia to the mound, who’s got a 15-6 record with a 3.38. Not to mention a renewed focus after being well rested. In three starts against the Tigers this MLB betting season, Sabathia posted an ERA of 3.32 over 21 innings. That included 20 strikeouts, five walks and two HRs allowed.
On Detroit’s turf, Sabathia has a 4.26 ERA in 16 starts. Also working in Sabathia’s favor is Detroit’s ineffectiveness against left-handed pitchers this season.
The Tigers will counter with Max Scherzer, who has a killer record since the break, with 90 1/3 IP, a 2.69 ERA, 110K, and 27BB. While online sports bettors might have been concerned about his shoulder and ankle, the way he took full control in his start against the A’S in the American League Division Series made online sports bettors who bet baseball feel better about backing him.
The Yankees might think that they can easily get on base with Scherzer on the mound based on his performance in his last start. It was April, and Scherzer walked seven Yankees in just shy of 5 innings. But those who follow baseball betting lines should note that Scherzer’s game has been far different lately.
Game Odds:
New York Yankees: -1.5 +145, ML -115
Detroit Tigers: +1.5 -165, ML +105
Game Total: 7, o +105 /u -125
