Has it happened in the last 16 years or so? I would find it hard to believe.
No way in the playoffs.
The only way I could see it is in a meaningless September game where they were resting all their players.

I'm in no way trying to talk anyone to betting the Yankees.
I'm certainly not betting them.
I was just looking for some historical data.

In June, these two pitchers faced each other in Detroit.
Hughes and Verlander.
Yankees were +160. Yankees won 5-1.
Irrelevant and interesting, all rolled up into one.

parlayed yankees with over
I think there's at least a 20% chance the yankees score 5+ and win
tigers should get a couple

Verlander hasn't had anywhere near that success against the Yankees over the last two years. The Tigers ace faced the Yankees twice in 2011 and three times in 2012 and has nothing more than a 1-1 record with three no-decisions.
Here are those five games:March 31, 2011, Opening Day at Yankee Stadium: Verlander went six innings and allowed three runs on three hits, walking four and whiffing eight. The key blow was a three-run homer by Mark Teixeira. Verlander (114 pitches) earned a no-decision, but the Tigers lost, 6-3.
May 2, 2011, in Detroit: Verlander again went six innings allowing three runs, this time on eight hits. Once again he walked four and whiffed eight. These were the only two games in 2011 that Verlander proffered as many as four walks. The key blow was a two-run double by the now-retired Jorge Posada. Verlander (137 pitches) earned a no-decision, but the Tigers lost, 5-3. Like in the opener, Joba Chamberlain earned the win in relief.
April 27, 2012, in New York: Once again, Verlander lasted just six innings (102 pitches) but the Yankees this time got to him for four earned runs, five overall, on seven hits. He didn't walk anyone but only struck out four. The key blows were homers by Russell Martin and Alex Rodriguez. It was another no-decision for Verlander, but another loss for the Tigers, this time, 7-6.
June 3, 2012, in Detroit: Verlander went 6.1 innings and struggled, allowing nine hits and five runs, three earned. He walked four and whiffed four throwing 114 pitches. He took the loss as the Tigers dropped a 5-1 decision to complete-game winner, Phil Hughes. The key blows were a Robinson Cano triple, and home runs from Derek Jeter and A-Rod.
August 6, 2012, in Detroit: Verlander was overpowering in an eight-inning performance striking out 14 Yankees. He did allow nine hits but walked only one while allowing two runs, both unearned. Curtis Granderson, Teixeira, and Ichiro Suzuki each struck out three times. Verlander and the Tigers won, 7-2.
Bottom line numbers
• Verlander went 1-1-3 while the Tigers were 1-4 during those five regular-season starts.
• Verlander's ERA was 3.64 and his WHIP was 1.526.
• Verlander pitched 32.1 innings allowing 13 earned runs on 36 hits, including five homers.
• He walked 13 and struck out 38.
• He threw 589 pitches, 54.3 percent were fastballs. His fastball averaged 89.6 mph peaking at 100.3.
• Overall, the Yankees swung and missed on 65 pitches.
• Yankee batters hit .279, slugged .481, and had an OPS of .823.
• Alex Rodriguez has hit .455 against Verlander the last two seasons with two homers, a double, and three RBIs including 4 for 6 this season.
• Verlander owns a 5-4 record and 3.74 ERA in 13 career starts against the Yankees.
Keep in mind, if the Yankees can once again get to Verlander, waiting in Game 4 is CC Sabathia who is 3-1-1 against Detroit over the last two seasons and perhaps a whole new ALCS.

from twitter:
The last time the Yankees were +1 1/2 and cheaper than (-130) was 176 games ago in Tampa when they sat everyone. Before that, 8/31/11 @ BOS.Points Awarded:
