Detroit Tigers vs New York Yankees Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 09/09/25

The New York Yankees are set to open a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers tonight, and we’ve got your prediction right here! The Yankees enter this matchup just two games out of first place in the AL East, while the Tigers hold a comfortable 8.5-game lead in the AL Central. The Tigers have struggled as of late, losing six of their last 10 and averaging just 4.5 runs per game in that span. The Yankees have won seven of their last 10, averaging 5.7 runs per game, and they’ll look to keep that momentum going into tonight’s matchup. 

Taking the mound for the Yankees will be Will Warren, who enters with a 8-6 record and a 4.28 ERA. For the Tigers, Casey Mize will get the start, entering with a 13-5 record and a 3.87 ERA. The last time these two teams met was back in April in frigid conditions, when Detroit took two of three. However, at this time, the edge leans towards New York. Warren has gone 2-1 with a 3.55 ERA in his last five starts compared to Mize who is 3-1 with a 5.33 ERA in that same span. Look for Aaron Judge and the Yankees to get to Mize early on and kick start this series with a win in the Bronx.
