Free Baseball Pick

Detroit’s starter Justin Verlander will be making his second start of the campaign and with just the one start under his belt it is difficult to speculate on his form going into this game. His historical statistics against the NY Yankees overall are strong, but as noted Rodriguez and Headley have owned him and the Yanks’ bats returned last night in a big way with 15 hits. Adam Warren has owned the lineup in his career with the Tigers hitting .196 with a .235 slugging percentage. New York has gotten the win in 3 of 4 games this season in this matchup and have gotten the victory in 3 straight starts against Detroit with Verlander on the mound.
