Yankees favored as Will Warren draws start against Tigers' Casey Mize; Post backs New York
New York Post recommends a $50 wager on the Yankees at -155 (Fanatics) for Tuesday's 6:40 p.m. ET first pitch
The New York Yankees are favored against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium, with right-hander Will Warren set to start for New York and Casey Mize taking the mound for Detroit. The New York Post's betting column recommends a $50 wager on the Yankees at -155 on Fanatics Sportsbook. First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. ET.
Both clubs entered the matchup with similar records, but Detroit was reported to be sitting atop its division. Recent form for the scheduled starters figures prominently in the Post's pick: Mize has allowed 13 runs and 25 hits over his past 20 1/3 innings, while Warren has yielded 11 runs in his past 36 1/3 innings, according to the Post's summary of recent box-score results.
The matchup pairs a Tigers staff seeking steadier results against a Yankees rotation that the Post projects to be the safer betting option for this outing. The betting line offered by Fanatics Sportsbook lists New York as the favorite at -155; the Post's column used that market to construct its recommendation. Bettors considering the game are directed to compare lines across sportsbooks and account for each starter's recent workload and opponent matchups.
Warren's recent stretch of innings has come with lower run totals than Mize's, a factor the Post cited when urging a wager on the Yankees. Detroit's position atop the division reflects stronger performance over the season, but the Tigers' leadoff into this game was tempered by the starter's recent results.
Tuesday's game will be part of a busy MLB schedule that bettors and fans are watching closely as postseason positioning becomes clearer. The Post's betting column has offered daily handicaps throughout the season and used the reported numbers above to justify its pick for the Yankees in this specific matchup.
As with all sports wagering, outcomes are uncertain and depend on in-game performance, bullpen usage, and late adjustments. Fans wanting the latest lineup confirmations, weather updates, and in-game developments should consult official team reports and live box scores ahead of the 6:40 p.m. ET first pitch.
