Yankees vs Tigers Preview: Weathers Faces Skubal in Week 65 Showdown

The Yankees roll into Detroit with a 46-31 record, but they're missing their superstar. Aaron Judge is out with a stress fracture in his rib and won't play for weeks. That's a huge hole in their lineup. Jose Caballero and Max Schuemann are stepping up in right field. The team just lost three straight games. They need a win badly in this series. Detroit already beat them once this week. Can the Yankees bounce back without their best player? Let's see what happens Wednesday night.

The Tigers are riding a four-game winning streak. They've won six of their last ten games. Tarik Skubal takes the mound for Detroit tonight. He's already won a Cy Young Award and dominated the American League. Skubal has an amazing 2.92 ERA with 18 strikeouts this season. His pitching is the backbone of Detroit's team. The Tigers beat New York 5-3 on Sunday. They're dangerous when Skubal is pitching. The Yankees' Ryan Weathers has a 5.76 ERA. This is a matchup Detroit wants on the mound.

This is the second game of the series between these teams. The Yankees won the first game 4-3 on Monday night. Jose Caballero and Mitch Chisholm Jr. hit key hits for New York. The Tigers came back strong and won 5-3 the next day. Spencer Greene hit a massive 422-foot home run for Detroit. Both teams are fighting hard. The Yankees are 0-0 on the road so far this season. Detroit is 22-16 at home. Wednesday's game could swing the momentum either way.
