The Detroit Tigers will look to land a clean sweep against the New York Yankees tonight. The Tigers were dominant through the first two contests of this three-game series, winning each by a combined 20 runs. The Yankees have failed to remain competitive in a hugely important series, as they are only three games back from first place in the AL East, a deficit that emphasizes how important each contest is. A rebound would greatly improve New York's chances of capturing the divisional crown.
Tigers manager AJ Hinch has decided that the bullpen will handle the pitching responsibilities tonight. Tyler Holton will make the start, but he has made 65 appearances this year, none of which have stretched longer than two innings. The rest of the Detroit bullpen has been one of the best in the league, and should enter this game on a fair bit of rest, making this one of the more encouraging bullpen starts in recent memory.
The Yankees will take a more traditional approach by deploying starting pitcher Cam Schlittler tonight. Schlittler has only started 10 games, but he has posted a 3.24 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP in those appearances, surprisingly good numbers for a youngster taking on his first real MLB workload. However, his last start was the worst of his season, as the Toronto Blue Jays lit him up for four runs in a single inning. The Tigers have scored a combined 23 runs in the last two games, making this a pretty tough matchup for the young righty.

Tigers vs Yankees Prediction and Pick
With the Detroit bullpen set to handle all nine innings here, the Yankees are a somewhat appealing bet. However, the over is the best selection on the board, even with the Tigers missing a true starter.
Detroit has been red-hot at the plate lately, scoring five or more runs in seven of its last eight games. A matchup with Schlittler is not ideal, but the Tigers should continue to be effective at the plate. On the other side, the Yankees have a date with a bullpen, a matchup that typically leads to a better offensive output than usual. The Tigers will do the lion's share of the work, while New York adds several runs in the middle innings to cash the over easily.
