The New York Yankees<\/a> (80\u201363) host the Detroit Tigers<\/a> (82\u201362) tonight at Yankee Stadium to open a three-game series.<\/p>\n

The Yankees sit just two games behind the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> in the American League East after taking two of three from their division rivals. They also hold a two-game lead over the Boston Red Sox<\/a> atop the AL Wild Card race.<\/p>\n

This matchup with the Tigers is the first of the Yankees\u2019 final two series against winning teams. Their last 13 games are all against sub-.500 opponents \u2014 the Minnesota Twins<\/a>, Baltimore Orioles<\/a>, and Chicago White Sox<\/a>. If New York can take two out of three from both Detroit and Boston, they\u2019ll be in a strong position to either steal the division or at least lock down a Wild Card berth.<\/p>\n

The Tigers, meanwhile, have controlled the AL Central for most of the season and carry an 8.5-game cushion over the Cleveland Guardians<\/a>. That lead has held despite Detroit playing some of its worst baseball of the year lately, dropping six of its last 10. Barring an epic collapse, the Tigers are postseason-bound.<\/p>\n

Casey Mize gets the start for Detroit. His season has been a tale of two halves: 9\u20133 with a 3.15 ERA before the All-Star break, but 4\u20132 with a 5.59 ERA since. He dominated the Yankees back in April, holding them to one run over six innings, though that came in what feels like a different season altogether. More recently, he limited the Mets to one run across five innings, hinting at a potential rebound just in time for October.<\/p>\n

Will Warren<\/a> takes the mound for the Yankees. He\u2019s 8\u20132 with a 4.28 ERA overall but has been much sharper of late, going 2\u20131 with a 2.72 ERA over his last seven starts. <\/p>\n

His lone rough outing in that stretch came against Boston in August, when he gave up five runs in four innings. Otherwise, he\u2019s been excellent, most recently holding the Houston Astros<\/a> to two runs in five innings. Warren looks locked in as New York gears up for the postseason.<\/p>\n

Predictions<\/p>\n

Will Warren\u2019s strong stretch of outings gives the Yankees the edge, while Casey Mize\u2019s inconsistency leaves Detroit vulnerable. Expect a tight, low-scoring game with New York pulling out a 4\u20133 win. The caveat, of course, is if the Yankees\u2019 bullpen holds it down.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Yankees 4, Tigers 3<\/p>\n
