The Tigers have shown remarkable resilience and skill in their past games. In a stunning display against the Mariners, they managed to secure a 15-1 victory with an explosive offense that saw them hitting five home runs and driving in 15 RBIs. This game was not just a showcase of their batting strength but also highlighted their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities, as evidenced by hitting seven out of twelve times with runners in scoring position.


Pitching has also been a strong suit for the Tigers recently. Their bullpen managed an ERA of 0.0 across three innings against the Mariners, demonstrating both depth and reliability in late-game situations. This kind of pitching performance will be crucial as they go up against a Yankees lineup known for its power-hitting capabilities.
