Why you should back the Tigers

Detroit’s pitching staff is quite strong. The Tigers will deploy Rony Garcia as the starting pitcher on Sunday, and he has impressive metrics this season. Garcia has 11.3 strikeouts and 2.3 walks per nine innings in 2022, and opponents are producing only a .641 OPS against him. That includes a dismal .570 OPS by left-handed hitters and, prior to a shaky outing in his last start, Garcia held a 3.00 ERA in his first nine appearances of the 2022 season. 

Detroit’s bullpen is excellent, ranking No. 2 in the American League with a 2.93 ERA. The Tigers rank in the top four of the league in bullpen WAR, and Detroit’s bullpen induces a 47.1 percent ground ball rate with only 0.65 home runs allowed per nine innings.

Why you should back the Yankees

The Yankees are rolling in all facets, as evidenced by them owning MLB’s best record. New York leads the American League with 79 home runs and a .427 slugging percentage, and the Yankees have already scored 253 runs this season. The Yankees rank in the top five of the league in batting average (.245) and on-base percentage (.321), with the best walk rate (9.5 percent) in the AL. Detroit’s offense lags considerably behind in overall quality, and the Yankees have an impressive run prevention unit. 

New York’s bullpen leads the AL in wins above replacement with a 3.04 ERA, more than a strikeout per inning, and a 48.8 percent ground ball rate. At the start of Sunday’s game, the Yankees will utilize left-hander Jordan Montgomery, who is pitching quite well. Montgomery has a 3.04 ERA in 2022, generating a 1.01 WHIP and allowing only 1.5 walks per nine innings. He has not allowed more than three runs in any start this season, and left-handed hitters have a .433 OPS against Montgomery.
