The Detroit Tigers hope to bounce back in the win column and get off to a good start on their six-game road trip.

The Tigers are 82-62 and lead the American League Central Division. They have an 8.5-game lead over the Cleveland Guardians and are only half a game behind the Toronto Blue Jays for the AL's best record. Detroit finished 2-4 in a six-game homestand, losing to the New York Mets and the Chicago White Sox. The offense was present, but the pitching was only effective for two games.

The New York Yankees are 80-63 and are second in the American League East Division. They are only two games behind the Toronto Blue Jays for the division lead. New York is presently in the first wild card spot, but they are making a strong push for the division and the top seed. They won two out of three from the Jays, and both victories were close. The Yankees hope to keep playing well on both sides of the ball.
