The clearest strength for Detroit is the way its pitching numbers compare with its overall record. The Tigers have a solid 3.78 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP, while holding opponents to a .236 batting average. That gives Detroit a foundation to compete, even with a road record that has been difficult.

The Yankees come into this game at 48-36 overall and 22-16 at home. New York recently lost to Detroit 7-3, lost to Boston 5-4 in 10 innings, lost to Boston 4-1, lost to Boston 6-1, and lost to Boston 6-3.

The concern is recent form, as the Yankees enter off five straight losses.

I’ll take New York to bounce back in this matchup. Detroit did recently win this same game 7-3, and the Tigers have the listed starter with the lower ERA and WHIP. Still, New York has the better overall record, the better home record, the stronger team pitching numbers, and the better power profile. The Yankees have also scored 412 runs with 122 home runs, giving them the edge in the provided team stats.
