Detroit Tops the AL Central
The Detroit Tigers closed out their series against the Chicago White Sox on a strong note. In a dominant performance, Tarik Skubal threw seven scoreless innings, giving up just two hits and one walk with six strikeouts, helping Detroit secure a 6–0 shutout and snap the White Sox’s six-game win streak. This performance further underlines Skubal’s Cy Young-caliber season. Combined with crucial offensive support—including Gleyber Torres’s three-run homer and contributions from Jahmai Jones and Zach McKinstry—the Tigers looked sharp on both sides of the ball
Casey Mize is back on the mound again for the Tigers. The 28-year-old right-hander has a 13-5 record with the team winning in four of his last five games. His ERA is 3.87 to go with 110 strikeouts against 32 walks. In his last start, Mize gave up only one run in five innings in a win against the Mets.

Yankees Fight for Playoff Spot
The New York Yankees enter this game riding a wave of mixed results. They've surged within striking distance of the AL East lead after strong performances, including a pivotal win over the Blue Jays to narrow the gap in the division race. However, their bullpen reliability remains a concern—most notably, a late-game collapse against the Astros resulted in an 8–7 heartbreaker due to a disastrous eighth inning and questionable relief decisions. Adding to the bullpen woes, rookie Cam Schlittler had a rough outing against Toronto, surrendering four runs in just under two innings.
Will Warren will make his 30th start of the season as a 26-year-old right-hander. He has an 8-6 record with the team going 1-2 over his last three starts. His ERA is 4.28 to go with 153 strikeouts against 60 walks. In his last start, Warren gave up two runs in five innings in a loss to the Astros.
Detroit Tigers vs. New York Yankees Pick
Moneyline Pick for Tigers vs. Yankees
- Yankees (4 units)
The Yankees will send Warren to the mound, and he has given up two or fewer runs in four of his last five games. New York is still in the hunt to catch the Blue Jays in the AL East, and will get a win here, especially with Aaron Judge healthy and contributing. Judge had a game-winning catch last time out, and will continue to bring his league-best batting average into this matchup. Detroit is starting Mize, who recently gave up five runs to the Athletics in a loss. New York will show their power here and grab a win.
Take the Yankees to win.
Over/Under Pick for Tigers vs. Yankees
- Under (4 units)
Two strong offenses face each other in a divisional battle with each team sending out a strong pitcher. Casey Mize was an All-Star this season for the Tigers, and has been solid all year with his 3.87 ERA, and 110-32 strikeout to walk ratio. Mize is coming off a strong showing against the Mets, where he only allowed one earned run in a win. The Yankees are a team that garners a lot of over bets, but they have gone under in six of their last eight games. Warren has been strong on the mound for the Yankees lately, and will keep this a low scoring game.
Take the under.
