Detroit Tigers vs New York Yankees Odds

88-74TEAM RECORD95-67



The visiting Tigers look for a 2-0 series lead but they opened as +120 underdogs against the Derek Jeter-less Yankees Sunday.

New York hands the ball to starter Hiroki Kuroda in this one and he'll try to improve on his 16-11 mark on the year and draw the Yankees even. Detroit counters with Anibal Sanchez, who will try to quiet the fans and the Yankees bats at the same time.

The total opened at 8 at Sportsbook and the question of who replaces Jeter at shortstop may force this number a half run higher.
