Before making any Yankees vs. Tigers picks, you NEED to check out the MLB predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times and it is off to a sizzling start to the 2022 season. It's on a 14-4 roll on top-rated MLB money-line picks through two weeks, returning over $800 for $100 players. Anyone following it has seen HUGE returns!

The model knows the Yankees have an excellent group of pitching options, headlined by starter Jordan Montgomery. Montgomery has a 3.80 ERA since the start of 2021, generating more than three strikeouts per walk over that span. He is dominant against left-handed hitters, and New York's bullpen is elite. The Yankees were excellent in relief last season and, in 2022, New York leads the AL with a 1.98 ERA in 59 innings.

The model also knows the Tigers have a solid option in veteran starting pitcher Michael Pineda. Pineda is making his 2022 debut and he posted a 3.62 ERA in 22 starts last season. His command is outstanding, issuing fewer than two walks per nine innings, both in his career and in 2021. Pineda has a career mark that includes more than four times as many strikeouts as walks.

Now, it has set its sights on Yankees vs. Tigers. We can tell you the model is leaning over the total, and it also says one side of the money line has ALL the value! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any MLB picks.
