New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers - Ryan Weathers vs. Tarik Skubal (6:40 PM, EST)

With Tarik Skubal on the mound, expect the New York Yankees to get off to a slow start as the reigning AL Cy Young winner - who remains a massive favorite in the latest Cy Young odds - creates Whiffs at a high rate.

Under 0.5 Run (-140) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Since returning from injury, Tarik Skubal has been dominant, averaging an ERA of 3.02, a WHIP of 1.025, and a FIP of 2.74 in nine appearances. Skubal’s success on the mound stems from his power and pin point accuracy, generating over one Strikeout and less than one Hit Against per Inning Pitched.

Fortunately for Skubal, he will be able to build on his momentum against the New York Yankees by taking advantage of an offense who resides in the bottom half of the board in Contact Rate. Especially with his back end smothering the Yankees gaps in the outfield with their suffocating coverage, surrounding Skubal with a group who hovers near the top of the board in Defensive Efficiency.

Locked into a pitchers duel with Skubal is Ryan Weathers, an aggressive arm for the Yankees who is also generating over one Strikeout per inning while averaging a WHIP of 1.128. With the Tigers ranking below league average in Hit Rate, On Base Percentage, and in OPS, expect Weathers to neutralize their bats while attacking the plate and keep a clean sheet in the first inning.

Kansas City Royals vs. Tampa Bay Rays - Noah Cameron vs. Griffin Jax (6:40 PM, EST)

The Tampa Bay Rays must take advantage of Griffin Jax’s start against Kansas City if they want to chip away at the Yankees lead for first in the division and shift the AL East odds back in their favor.

Under 0.5 Run (-135) at BetMGM Sportsbook

After a hot start to the year, the Tampa Bay Rays have fallen hard back down to reality, dropping to the bottom fifteen in Runs Scored, RBIs, and in OPS. Their lack of production on offense makes them vulnerable to prolonged scoring lulls, lowering their chances of winning.

Unfortunately for the Rays, their struggles on offense are poised to persist against the Kansas City Royals Noah Cameron, battling it out against an arm who is averaging a FIP of 3.42. Cameron’s back end also drastically lessens the probability of him getting burned by an Error, fielding an outfield who ranks above league average in Fielding Percentage.

On the other side of the field, the Royals have also been abysmal in their efforts of scoring, matching the Rays output in the same previously mentioned metrics. With Griffin Jax getting the start for the Rays, expect the Royals to continue to struggle with getting on base as they face off against an arm who is averaging an ERA of 3.67 while giving up less than one Hit Against per inning.
