MLB Predictions
Tigers / Yankees Under 8
While posting this up we've already seen line movement working against us, so I'm going to be quick here with the write up. The Tigers scored 17 runs over their 5 games vs the Athletics (3.4 runs per game), while giving up just 11 runs over those 5 games. New York had a big 7 run Game 1, but in their next 4 games they scored just 9 runs. Over the course of the series the Yankees allowed just 10 runs against (2 per game on avg). Doug Fister went 7 innings allowing 6 hits and 2 earned runs with 8 strike outs in his start, while Pettitte went 7 innings giving up 7 hits and 3 earned runs with 5 strike outs in his start. The UNDER is 6-1-2 in the Tigers last 9 overall, and 11-4-2 in Fister's last 17 road starts. The UNDER is 4-0 in the Yankees last 4 overall, and 4-0 in Pettitte's last 4 home starts. Neither team has really hot bats right now, and with two good starting pitchers on the mound runs shouldn't be easy to come by. Take the UNDER.
