The first game in this series saw the Yankees trounce the Tigers by 4 runs, bringing New York to an even 69-69 record. The Tiger’s couldn’t convert, logging six hits for a single run. The Yankees proved more productive with six hits and five runs.

Tonight’s game could bring a reprieve for the Tigers, especially with southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez starting at the mound.

Eduardo Rodriguez (10-7, 3.11 ERA,123 SO5 K in 71 IP) vs. Carlos Rodon (2-4, 5.70 ERA, 37 SO)

If there’s a glimmer of hope for the Tigers, tonight’s the game for it to shine. Detroit is fielding Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez with a 10-7 record and just 3.11 ERA. His cannon is locked and loaded, and Rodriguez no doubt hopes to add to his already impressive strikeout count of 123.

Meanwhile, the Yankees field Carlos Rodon. At 2-4 and a 5.70 ERA, he could open the door for a scoring run from the away team.

Once again, the Yanks come out on top, at least as far as the oddsmakers are concerned. The margin is slim and the value is low, for the most part. However, if you’re yearning to place a straight-u[ moneyline bet on the Tigers, today’s the day. With solid value at +140 and a favorable pitcher match-up, things are looking good for Detroit.

Steer clear from the totals line at 8 runs. It’s too close to call.

Detroit Tigers Moneyline: +140 at DraftKings Sportsbook.

Like we said, it looks good for the Tigers tonight as they look to close out this series with a victory. Rodriguez will showcase his strong arm and hopefully keep the Yankees’ scoring opportunities to a minimum.

Let’s go all Tigers bets for this game’s parlay.

Odds for this parlay are +180 from Draftkings:

• Detroit Tigers win
• Detorit Tigers over 3.5 runs

This same game parlay adds a bit of value to a TIgers moneyline bet. With Rodon at the mound for New York, we think the Tigers can snag 4 runs or more and bring the win home for Detroit.

We’d recommend going for this parlay or the Tigers moneyline instead of placing both bets. The outcomes are too similar to make them as valuable as duplicate bets. Remember to today and bet $5 to get $200 in bonus bets instantly.
