Yankees at Tigers MLB Picks & Odds – May 11, 2010: Even after losing a couple of games in a row, the New York Yankees are off to a very good start this season. At 21-10 through Monday, the Yanks trail the first-place Tampa Bay Rays by a half-game in the AL East. But even more impressive may be the Pinstripes' performance on the Sportsbook.com MLB betting lines, where they've posted the best money number in the American League.
This week the Yankees continue a four-game series in Detroit on Tuesday-Wednesday (7 pm Eastern, ESPN)-Thursday (1 pm). The Tigers used six pitchers in taking the opener of this series Monday night 5-4.

For Tuesday's game, MLB oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com list the Yankees as -146 moneyline favorites with a 10-run total. Tigers backers are getting +136 odds.
The Yanks recently won six games in a row, and despite their status as a regular favorite of the betting public, they top the American League's season money chart at +$755. And as the top-scoring team in the majors New York is 18-12 on the OVER/UNDERS.
Detroit trails first-place Minnesota by three games in the AL Central, and has lost four of its last six games. Still, the Tigers rank fifth on the AL money chart at +$415.
Last year the Yanks took five of six games from Detroit.
