The Detroit Tigers (59-63) will play hosts to the New York Yankees (72-50) Friday evening to start a 3-game series. The Tigers are on a current 4-game winning streak which includes a sweep of their most recent opponent, the Seattle Mariners. In that series, they outscored the Mariners 25-8. The Yankees bounced back after losing a rough 12-2 game to the White Sox by winning their next two and taking the series. Juan Soto was 4-6 with 4 home runs, 5 RBIs and scored 6 runs. These teams met back in early May in New York when the Yankees took all 3 games and held the Tigers to just 6 total runs. Tonight, Gerrit Cole (3-2, 4.70) will be making his 3rd start since coming back from injury. He has allowed just 3 runs over 11 innings of work and struck out 14 batters over that span. For the Tigers, they have yet to name a starter for this opening matchup. On the season, this Yankee team is ranked 1st in on-base percentage and 2nd in total runs. The Tigers, on the other hand, have been mediocre at the plate and sit in 28th and 21st in those same statistical categories.

Our Detroit Tigers vs New York Yankees Prediction

While the Tigers do not currently have a starter announced, this Yankee lineup should have no issue with whomever Detroit decides to throw. On the contrary, the Tigers are just a combined 13-72 for an average of just .153. Now that Cole is looking more like his normal self after the recovery from injury, he should be able to keep this Tigers team under wraps in this one. Soto has been super-hot and is likely to play a factor once again.
