New York at Detroit

The New York Yankees open a road trip tonight in Detroit. The Yankees will send to the mound Gerrit Cole. Cole was last year's Cy Young winner but missed a lot of time with an arm injury. However, he seems to be settling in. The Yankees have won five of his past seven starts. The Yankees are tied in the AL East with Baltimore, so every game matters. You have to like his chances here. Cole has pitched vs. the Tigers 11 times, with his team going 9-2 in the 11 games. The Tigers are playing well, but their offense mostly struggles. The Tigers have failed to score more than four runs in just 14 of their last 18 games. Cole has it going in a meaningful game. I like the New York Yankees in this one.
