A full 15-game MLB slate is scheduled for Tuesday, which will include an American League matchup between the Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees.
Scheduled for Tuesday, June 30th with an expected first pitch time of 7:05 PM ET, this game will be played at the Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York and will be broadcast on MLB.TV, TBS, and Amazon Prime Video.
Detroit enters this game with a record of 36-49 and is currently in fourth place in the AL Central division. After a Game 1 win against the Yankees, the Tigers are now scheduled to start Tarik Skubal in Game 2, who has a record of 3-4 and an ERA of 3.32.
Skubal has been particularly good on the road this season, where he has made six away starts, has an ERA of 2.55, and has allowed 12 runs (10 earned) over 35.1 innings.
New York, on the other hand, enters this game with a record of 48-36 and is currently in second place in the AL East division. For Game 2 of this series, the Yankees are scheduled to start Cam Schlittler, who has a record of 8-4 and an ERA of 1.64.
In seven home starts this season, Schlittler has an ERA of 2.56 and has allowed 13 runs (11 earned) over 38.2 innings.
Overall, the Yankees’ offense ranks seventh in the league in terms of runs per game. That said, during their current five-game losing streak, they are averaging just 2.4 runs per game.
Add in the fact that the Tigers rank 22nd in runs per game, and backing under 7.5 total runs will be our best bet.
Our favorite player prop is for Ben Rice, from the New York Yankees, to hit a home run.
Rice is having an excellent season thus far, hitting .269, but more importantly, he has hit a team-high 22 home runs.
Rice has been particularly good at home this season, where he has hit 13 of his 22 home runs.
He does have just five home runs against left-handed pitching this season, which is what he will face in this game against Skubal, but considering the power he has shown all season, backing Rice to hit a home run is a solid play.
