Detroit Tigers Preview

Detroit turns to Jack Flaherty (7–13, 4.85 ERA, 1.30 WHIP) for this road game. Flaherty’s strikeout ability (171 K in 146.2 IP) is solid, yet the long ball has been a problem (22 HR). If Detroit can stretch Flaherty to six competitive innings and hand a lead to the bullpen, their near-identical ERA to New York gives them a chance.

The Tigers’ offense has leaned on Riley Greene, who’s leading the lineup in average (.267), homers (32), and RBI (103). Detroit’s team line sits at .250/.319/.421 with 695 runs, which is solid but not exceptional. The Tigers have had a strong supporting cast all season, have a comfortable lead of 8.5 games atop the American League Central, and look to make a statement on the road against a perennial playoff team.

New York Yankees Preview

New York hands the ball to Carlos Rodón (16–7, 3.12 ERA, 1.07 WHIP), who’s been a strong starter all season with 180 strikeouts across 170.1 innings and limited hits allowed (114). If Rodón commands the fastball and slider throughout his time on the mound, the results will be positive against a Tigers order that has been hot and cold during the second half of the season.

Aaron Judge has carried the line-up all seasons for New York with a .321/.443/.656 line, 43 home runs, and 97 RBI. Support has come from Cody Bellinger (.277, 27 HRs). The Yankees own sizable edges in home runs (243) and slugging percentage (.454) versus Detroit. New York has won four of the last five and, at home, will benefit from hearing its raucous fan base.

Detroit Tigers vs New York Yankees Prediction

The combination of Rodón’s strength on the mound and New York’s superior power at the plate gives the Yankees a distinct advantage. Flaherty’s strikeouts can keep Detroit in it, but the Tigers will find it hard to string hits together against Rodon. The Yankees will catch up to Flaherty and push enough runs across the plate to win. Final Score Prediction: New York Yankees win 6-2.
