It is the MLB Little League Classic tonight in Williamsport, PA. Amid arguably the greatest young amateur event of the year, the Little League World Series, this new tradition of MLB hosting a game in the middle of the tournament has become one of the most popular Sunday Night Baseball games of the season. The New York Yankees (73-51) will take on the Detroit Tigers (60-64). This will be the 3rd and deciding game of their series. The Yankees took game one 3-0 on the back of Gerrit Cole who struck out 8 while shutting out the Tigers in his 6 innings of work. Aaron Judge and Oswald Peraza each homered in the win. In game two, Detroit starter Keider Montero, went 5 innings of shutout work while allowing just 2 hits to the Yankees. Andy Ibanez hit a 2-run double to help lift the Tigers to the 4-0 win. Tonight, Marcus Stroman (8-6, 4.01) will be on the mound for the Yankees. He is coming off a 1 run and 4 hit start against the Rangers where he picked up his 8th win of the season. For Detroit, they will turn to Tarik Skubal (14-4, 2.53) who has been phenomenal all season. Skubal went 6 innings and struck out 9 while holding the Mariners to 1 run in his latest start.

Our New York Yankees vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
Both teams have been trending to under their totals in this situation. Stroman has a bit of an elevated ERA but looked strong against the Rangers in his last start. Now, he faces this Tiger lineup that is 21st in baseball in total runs. The Yankee lineup is the one that could cause issues for this total but Tarik Skubal has been magnificent this season. In fact, he faced these Yankees earlier in the season and held them to 2 runs on 6 hits while striking out 12 in his 6 innings of work. The Yankees did win but the total was only 7 runs. We expect a good a low scoring affair once again here.
Our prediction for New York Yankees vs Detroit Tigers: UNDER 7.5, -105 at Draftkings.
