Detroit Tigers vs New York Yankees Predictions 4/5/2022
The New York Yankees are returning from a poor 2021 season in which they lost in the American League wild-card game to rival Boston.
The Red Sox claimed the head-to-head tiebreaker for home-court privilege after tying for second place in the AL East and roughing up Gerrit Cole en route to a 6-2 win. As a result, the Yankees’ offseason was longer than they intended, and not just due to the lockout.
The Yankees now appeared in the playoffs five times in five seasons without ever making it to the World Series. However, the Bronx Bombers did not have a horrible season last year. They finished 46-27 the rest of the way after being 46-43 at the all-star break. Despite the wild-card loss to Boston, this provides them plenty of confidence and energy moving into 2022.
- The NY Yankees are 2-3 in their last 5 matches against the spread.
- The Yankees are 15-23 in their previous 38 road matches against the spread.
- The totals went OVER in 20 of the Yankees’ 44 last matches at home.
