Yankees vs Tigers Prediction

I’m on the Yankees here. I just think this is a rough spot for Casey Mize, who has had a lot of issues as of late in terms of giving up hard contact. The Yankees have been one of the better teams as of late against right-handed pitching, and I think that the Yankees get to Mize. Will Warren’s been a lot better at home this season, and I think the Yankees get it done here. Give me New York in this one.
