Sunday comp play on the Yankees to finish off their series with the Tigers with a win before flying west to start tomorrow's series in Oakland against the Athletics.
New York only recorded 2 hits yesterday, but it was enough to win the game, 2-1 behind Gleybar Torres' 2-run homer.
Today expect the offense to heat a little more against Matthew Boyd as the Yankees welcomed Andrew McCutchen to the Bronx, and also welcomed back catcher Gary Sanchez to their lineup. They didn't hit yesterday, but I expect them to hit today.
The Yankees are on an 11-4 run their last 15 games, while the Tigers are losers of 7 of their last 8 games as they head into this series finale.
Boyd has lost both career starts against the Yankees with an ERA over 9, and he is just 2-9 with a 5.75 ERA on the road this season.
Lynn has split a pair of starts against the Tigers this year with an ERA of 2.03.
Yankees get on that flight west with a solid 2 runs or better win this afternoon.
