It might be early but if the New York Yankees want to contend in the brutally tough American League East, they had better get on track, and I see that happening today when they travel to Comerica Park to open a 3-game set against the Detroit Tigers. Detroit is obviously in a rebuilding mode and the Triple Crown winner, Miguel Cabrera, is starting to show his age. It’s just a matter of time before Murderer’s Row starts delivering. The Yankees are 4-1 in their last 5 trips to Detroit and will send their young southpaw, Jordan Montgomery, to the hill. The Tigers have had issues against flame-throwing lefties, going 1-4 in their last 5 against them, and they are 1-4 in their last 5 overall. This could be a good spot for the Bombers to make a statement.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES
