Yankees vs Tigers Prediction 

Detroit had their winning streak snapped on Tuesday night in game two, but they have won four of their last five games. The Tigers are 22-17 at home this year, while the Yankees are 25-16 on the road. New York has lost three of their last four games and they continue to have some offensive issues without Judge. The Yankees are starting Weathers, who has allowed 5+ earned runs in three of his last four outings, while Skubal has allowed five earned runs and 12 hits over 10.2 innings since his injury. I am going to take the Tigers at home, but Skubal has not been super sharp.
