The New York Yankees are fresh off a series win on the road vs. their hated rival, the Boston Red Sox. The Yankees have had a lot of difficulty emotionally as the Sox series often is high energy and high impact with every game. Over the last decade when the Yankees have concluded a series against their hated rival, they are 27-35 as an average of a -140 favorite in their first game following a series with Boston, and playing against them has resulted in a positive 28.5% ROI. Things get tougher as they face one of the top pitchers in the game in Max Scherzer tonight. The Tigers are an impressive 47-15 in his last 62 starts in the role of a favorite, and the situation is just too loaded against the Yanks here in the Bronx tonight. Make the play on Detroit.
