The Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees will be playing the third and final game of their three game weekend series in this one. So far the New York Yankees have already clinched the series victory. They have won the first two games and will now be going for the sweep on Sunday.
Tony Battalio
The Detroit Tigers are coming into this game desperate for a victory. They have lost the first two games of this series against the New York Yankees and are already having a rough start to the 2022 Major League Baseball season. They come into this game with a record of 21-32 through their first 53 games of the year. They are on a two game losing streak at the moment and they have won six out of their last ten games.
The New York Yankees are on fire this season and they one of the best teams in Major League Baseball at the moment. They come into this game with a record of 38-15 through their first 53 games of the season. The Yankees are currently in first place of the American League East as they have a 6.5 game lead over the Toronto Blue Jays. They have won eight of their last ten games on the season. As for the result of this one I am going with the New York Yankees to get the win.
Tony’s MLB Pick: New York Yankees (-320)
Marko Nadin
The New York Yankees are on top of the AL East with a 38-15 record. They have won the last 5 games and haven’t allowed the Tigers any runs in the opening two games of the series. The Yankees are 7th in the league scoring 4.79 runs per game and are ranked the best in the league allowing 2.88 runs per game. The Yankees will start Jordan Montgomery tonight who is 1-1 for the season with a 3.04 ERA.

The Tigers are the worst offensive team in the league scoring only 2.85 runs per game and are ranked 10th in the league allowing 4.07 runs per game. Rony Garcia will start tonight for the Tigers who is 0-1 for the season with a 4.70 ERA so far in the season. Detroit has won 5 of the last 7 games after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game and 6 of the last 8 games after losing the opening two games of a series.
Marko’s MLB Pick: New York Yankees (-320)
Cleveland Guardians @ Baltimore Orioles – 1:35PM ET
The Cleveland Guardians and Baltimore Orioles will be playing the third and final game of their three game weekend series in this one. Both teams have won games as the Guardians won on Friday and the Orioles won on Saturday. Now it will be a winner take all on Sunday in game three.
Tony Battalio
The Cleveland Guardians are coming into this game after having their four game winning streak snapped on Saturday. They will now be looking to bounce back and grab a series victory in the finale of their three game series against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. The loss dropped Cleveland’s record on the season down to 23-25 through their first 48 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. They are at .500 with a record of 5-5 in their last ten games as well.
The Baltimore Orioles got a huge win on Saturday to even up this series at one game a piece. The win improved their record on the season to 23-32 through their first 55 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. They are also 5-5 in their last ten games of the year as well, as they are looking to climb out of the basement in the American League East division. As for the result of this game however, I think the Orioles will end up right back in the loss column as I’m going with the Guardians to pick up the victory.
Tony’s MLB Pick: Cleveland Guardians
Marko Nadin
The Baltimore Orioles are at the bottom of the AL East with a 23-32 record. They have lost 3 of the last 5 games but are coming off a 5-4 win over the Cleveland Guardians last night. The Orioles are 25th in the league scoring 3.92 runs per game and are ranked 22nd in the league allowing 4.63 runs per game. Baltimore will start Cionel Perez tonight who has a 1.08 ERA for the season. The Orioles have won 10 of the last 19 home games and 6 of the last 10 third games of a series.
The Cleveland Guardians are second in the AL Central with a 23-25 record. They lost last night to the Orioles which put an end to their four-game winning streak. Cleveland is 8th in the league scoring 4.73 runs per game and is ranked 13th in the league allowing 4.20 runs per game. The Guardians will start Zach Plesac tonight who is 1-4 for the season with a 4.93 ERA. Cleveland has won 4 of the last 5 games as road favorite and have lost 7 of the last 10 games against right-handed starter.
Marko’s MLB Pick: Cleveland Guardians
Minnesota Twins @ Toronto Blue Jays – 1:37PM ET
The Minnesota Twins and Toronto Blue Jays will be playing the third and final game of their three game weekend series in this one. Both teams have won games as the Twins won on Friday and the Blue Jays won on Saturday. Now it will be a winner take all on Sunday in game three.
Tony Battalio
The Minnesota Twins are having a fantastic start to the 2022 Major League Baseball season. They are currently in first place of the American League Central division and have a record of 31-24 through their first 55 games of the year. Their series with the Toronto Blue Jays is currently tied at 1 game a piece and they will be looking for a victory in the finale on Sunday to clinch the series win. The Twins are 4-6 in their last ten games of the year so a win would pull them to .500 at 5-5.
The Toronto Blue Jays had the complete opposite start of the Minnesota Twins as they got out of the gate slowly. However, they are now heating up, as they have won nine out of their last ten games and find themselves in second place of the American League East division. If they continue to play the way they are, I think they will catch the New York Yankees in no time. As for the result of this series finale I am going with the Toronto Blue Jays to pick up the victory.
Tony’s MLB Pick: Toronto Blue Jays
Marko Nadin
The Toronto Blue Jays are second in the AL East with a 31-21 record. After losing to the Twins in the season opener, putting an end to their eight-game winning streak, the Blue Jays bounced back with a 12-3 win last night. The Blue Jays are 17th in the league scoring 4.32 runs per game and are ranked 11th with 4.09 allowed runs per game. Toronto will start Kevin Gausman tonight who is 5-3 for the season with a 2.51 ERA. The Blue Jays have won 7 of the last 8 games after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game and 6 of the last 7 games against a team with a winning record.
The Minnesota Twins are on top of AL Central with a 31-24 record. They have lost 4 of the last 5 games failing to score a single run in 2 of those 4 losses. The Twins are 15th in the league scoring 4.38 runs per game and are ranked 7th allowing 3.92 runs per game. Minnesota will start David Shmelzer who is 2-0 for the season with a 1.50 ERA. The Twins have won the last six games played on Sunday and 7 of the last 10 games following a loss.
Marko’s MLB Pick: Minnesota Twins
Chicago White Sox @ Tampa Bay Rays – 1:40PM ET
The Chicago White Sox and Tampa Bay Rays will be playing the third and final game of their three game weekend series in this one. Both teams have won games as the Rays won on Friday and the White Sox won on Saturday. Now it will be a winner take all on Sunday in game three.
Tony Battalio
The Chicago White Sox didn’t have the start to the 2022 Major League Baseball season that they were expected to. If something doesn’t change quickly then the 2022 campaign is quickly going to turn into a lost season for the White Sox. As they come into this game with the Tampa Bay Rays with a record of 24-27 through their first 51 games of the year. Wow they are on a one game winning streak they have only picked up three victories in their last ten contests.
The Tampa Bay Rays are coming into this game with a record of 31-22 through their first 53 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. They are 5-5 in their last ten games of the season and trail the New York Yankees by seven games as they currently sit in third place of the American League East division. I look for them to pick up the victory in this one and clinch the series victory over the Chicago White Sox.
Tony’s MLB Pick: Tampa Bay Rays
Marko Nadin
The Tampa Bay Rays are third in the AL East with a 31-22 record. They have won 3 of the last 5 games and are coming off a 3-2 loss in the second game of the series against the White Sox. The Rays are 23rd in the league scoring 4.11 runs per game and are ranked 6th in the league allowing 3.89 runs per game. Tampa Bay will start Ryan Yarbrough tonight who is 0-2 for the season with 4.00 ERA. The Rays have won 4 of the last 6 games against a right-handed pitcher and 97 of the last 138 home games as favorites.
The Chicago White Sox are third in the AL Central with a 24-27 record. They won 3-2 last night against the Rays putting an end to a four-game losing streak. The White Sox are 28th in the league scoring 3.64 runs per game and 25th in the league allowing 4.77 runs per game. Lucas Giolito will be the White Sox’ starting pitcher tonight who is 3-2 for the season with a 3.61 ERA. The White Sox have won 7 of the last 1 third games of a series and 4 of the last 6 games against a left-handed starter.
Marko’s MLB Pick: Tampa Bay Rays
San Francisco Giants @ Miami Marlins – 1:40PM ET
The San Francisco Giants and Miami Marlins are playing the fourth and final game of their weekend series. The Marlins have won two of the first three games and will be looking for a win in this one to secure the series victory.
Tony Battalio
The San Francisco Giants are in a bit of a slump at the moment as they come into this game on a one game losing streak. They are 5-5 in their last ten games of the season and currently in third place of the National League West division. After finishing last year’s regular season as the best team in Major League Baseball and winning 100 plus games they have certainly regressed in 2022. They will have to win this series finale if they want to secure a series split in this four game series with the Marlins.
The Miami Marlins have secured at least a split of this four game weekend series in this one. However, they are still having a rough season as they come into this game in fourth place of the National League East division. They currently have a record of 22-29 through their first 51 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. As for the result of this game I am going with the San Francisco Giants to pick up the win.
Tony’s MLB Pick: San Francisco Giants
Marko Nadin
The Miami Marlins are fourth in the NL East with a 22-29 record. They have 3 of the last 5 games and are leading 2-1 in the series against the Giants. Miami is ranked 12nd in the league scoring 4.50 runs per game and 15th in the league allowing 4.28 runs per game. Braxton Garrett will start for the Marlins tonight who is 2-3 for the season with a 5.18 ERA. Miami has split the last 12 home games and have lost 5 of the last 8 games against NL West teams.
The San Francisco Giants are third in the NL West with a 28-24 record. They have lost 3 of the last 3 games and defeated the Marlines 15-6 in that span. The Giants are the second-best offensive team in the league scoring 5.22 runs per game and are ranked 23rd in the league allowing 4.72 runs per game. They will start Jakob Junis tonight who is 2-1 for the season with a 2.68 ERA. San Francisco has won 40 of the last 55 games against teams with a losing record and has lost 5 of the last 9 road games.
