Detroit aims for a 3-0 series stranglehold as they host the Yankees in ALCS betting action Tuesday and they opened as big -185 home moneyline favorites at most sportsbooks.
New York puts its faith in starter Philip Hughes to earn a win and boost his personal mark of 16-13. Getting the ball for the Tigers is Justin Verlander, who owns a 19-8 record on the season with a 2.51 ERA and who locked down Game 5 of the ALDS with a stud performance.
But the Tigers have lost 6 of his past 8 starts against the Yankees going back several seasons and the Yanks are desperate here. [ See hundreds of fun Game 3 props at bottom of page, courtesy of Sportsbook ]
