The current favorites in the AL East and AL Central are set to meet in Detroit. The expectations are high for both the Yankees and Tigers this MLB season so it is not a surprise to see the series odds priced so closely. This series will start off with a pitching matchup of Rodón vs Mize. Game Two of the series is expected to feature Carrasco vs Skubal. Game Three of the series is expected to feature Fried vs Flaherty.
While the expectations are high for both teams when it comes to their own respective divisions, it is the Yankees that have the shortest odds to win the American League Pennant at +300. By comparison, the Tigers are priced at +1300 and there are 5-7 teams that sit between New York and Detroit in those MLB futures odds. The Twins and Guardians, who are both in the AL Central, also have odds of +1300 alongside the Tigers.
It is super early in the season and while this series won’t tell us much about who will win the American League Pennant, it can serve as a mental boost. These teams may find themselves facing each other in October when it matters most.
