Tigers vs. Yankees Over 8.5 runs

Detroit outscored New York 23-3 across the first two games of this series, so Thursday’s meeting is expected to be another high-scoring one.

The Over is hitting in 58% of simulations by the SportsLine model.  

Angels vs. Mariners Over 8 runs

Seattle is still trying to hold on to the last AL Wild Card spot, so they will try to knock Jose Soriano (10-10, 4.07 ERA) out of the game early. Randy Arozarena, Josh Naylor and Leo Rivas all hit home runs in the previous series against the Cardinals, and the Mariners led the run total 13-7 over three games.
