Key Storylines
- The pitching matchup in this game is the top story. Tarik Skubal and Kevin Gausman will do battle as they look to lead their teams to the top of the American League standings.
- Tarik Skubal has emerged as one of the American League’s elite arms over the last couple of seasons. He is 10-3 with a 2.19 ERA and was the American League’s starting pitcher in this year’s All-Star Game.
- Kevin Gausman carries a 7‑7 record with a 4.01 ERA this year. He has pitched solidly but is more hittable than Skubal and has allowed more runs in his recent outings.
- Detroit is entering the game on a five-game losing skid but remains dangerous at home with Skubal on the mound.
- The Blue Jays have won three games in a row. That includes the first two games of this four-game set with Detroit.

Final Thoughts
Tarik Skubal is just what the Tigers need to end their current slump. I expect Skubal to help the Tigers get a much-needed win here and to prevent the Blue Jays offense from hitting six runs for a fourth game in a row. While Detroit no longer has the best record in the American League, I think they will get a win behind the best pitcher in the American League today.
