Tigers vs Yankees Prediction
You can talk yourself into the Yankees and the plus money, as they’ve been the better team this season. However, we’re getting Skubal at a reasonable price, something you don’t often see. A two-time Cy Young winner, Skubal remains one of the best arms in baseball. Weathers has been OK this season, but he’s been hit hard on the road, where he has a 5.33 ERA through 27 innings. I’ll roll with the Tigers.
