Yankees at Tigers 9/11/19 – MLB Pick
The Yankees are a team that looks like they are bound for the playoffs. However, what the Yankees would like to do is lock down the home field advantage for the entire playoffs. That is definitely something that is possible as the Yankees, who are 14 games over the five hundred mark on the road, are facing the Tigers in this game. In fact, the Tigers are so bad at home this year they have dropped 50 games overall at home and have only managed to win 18 games. That is going to make it even harder for the Tigers to be able to win this game as the Yankees are a great team that has picked up a lot of road wins.

Yankees vs Tigers Line:
My FREE MLB Pick: New York Yankees +1.5 Runs
I have to say that the Tigers do not have much of a chance o winning. The one good thing that the Yankees do have going for them is the fact they are playing the Tigers in Detroit. The way the Tigers have played at home is downright miserable and that is going to show up in this game here as the Yankees are able to dominate the game here. Look for the Yankees to come into this game and with the power the Yankees have in the lineup be able to take care of the Tigers pitching, which has been very weak most of the year. Final Score, New York Yankees win 6-1.
