New York Yankees at Detroit Tigers\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Detroit Tigers 3B Miguel Cabrera has played a big part in the team’s recent winning streak at Comerica Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New York is certainly in a funk after losing its 12th game in 18 tries Tuesday night, suffering a 6-5 setback to Detroit in the Motor City.\u00a0 The Yankees still hold a 4.5-game lead in the AL East standings, but it\u2019s the smallest such margin since June 29.\u00a0 \u201cThere should be a high level of concern,\u201d commented Yankees third baseman Eric Chavez.\u00a0 Outfielder Curtis Granderson needs to get going offensively, batting just .119 over his last 10 games, which has hurt a lineup that\u2019s without an injured Alex Rodriguez.\u00a0 New York is 7-8 as a road favorite of -125 to -150, with the \u201cunder\u201d going 9-6 in that situation.<\/p>\n

Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia (11-3, 3.53 ERA) tallied a 6-3 complete-game home victory against the Seattle Mariners in his last outing, giving up three runs and three hits, while striking out 10 and issuing just a single walk.\u00a0 The left-hander is 5-1 with a 4.26 ERA in 10 road starts, with opposing hitters batting .288 against him.\u00a0 In 34 career games versus the Tigers, Sabathia has produced a 17-12 record and 4.44 ERA, including an 8-5 mark and 4.27 ERA in 15 efforts at this ballpark.<\/p>\n

Detroit has matched its longest win streak of the 2012 campaign after last night\u2019s victory, while the club has won 10 consecutive games in front of the home fans.\u00a0 The Tigers have outscored opponents by a sizable 68-28 margin in that stretch, as it tries to tie a franchise record that was set in August 1949.\u00a0 Third baseman Miguel Cabrera is absolutely crushing the baseball, coming into this affair with 95 RBIs in 110 games.\u00a0 Detroit is 17-14 against left-handed starters this season.<\/p>\n

Tigers starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez (6-8, 3.99 ERA) picked up his first AL victory since being acquired from the Miami Marlins before the July 31 Trade Deadline, allowing two runs (one earned) and eight hits over six innings in a 10-2 home win over the Cleveland Indians.\u00a0 The right-hander is 3-5 with a 4.84 ERA in 10 home outings this year, but nine of those efforts occurred in South Florida.\u00a0 Sanchez earned a 5-0 road victory in his MLB debut against the Yankees on June 25, 2006.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely play the total in this affair, with the OVER going 5-2 in Sabathia\u2019s last seven efforts in this series.<\/p>\n
