Probable Pitchers
Yankees: LHP Ryan Weathers (Weathers)
Weathers has delivered steady mid‑rotation production, leaning on a heavy sinker and improved changeup usage. His road ERA has been sharper than his home splits, and he has held left‑handed hitters in check all season.
Tigers: LHP Tarik Skubal (Skubal)
Skubal remains Detroit’s most dominant arm, carrying ace‑level strikeout rates and one of the lowest hard‑contact profiles in the league. His fastball‑slider combination has been particularly effective at home, where he has allowed minimal damage in night games.

Key Player Matchups
Aaron Judge (NYY) vs Tarik Skubal (DET)
Judge’s elite slugging meets Skubal’s swing‑and‑miss arsenal. Skubal has held right‑handed power hitters to low barrel rates, but Judge remains one of the league’s most dangerous hitters against lefties.
Riley Greene (DET) vs Ryan Weathers (NYY)
Greene’s ability to drive the ball to all fields makes him Detroit’s best chance at early offense. Weathers’ changeup will be the key pitch in this matchup.
Juan Soto (NYY) vs Tigers Bullpen
If Skubal exits early, Soto’s plate discipline becomes a major factor against a Detroit relief corps that has struggled with walks.
