Tarik Skubal (3-4, 3.32 ERA) gets a rematch with the team that roughed him up a week ago, heading back to Yankee Stadium after they tagged him for 4 earned runs — including 3 home runs — across 6 innings in his June 24 loss in Detroit. Waiting for him is Cam Schlittler (8-4, 1.62 ERA), the 25-year-old right-hander who's been the one bright spot in an otherwise chaotic Yankees rotation and is putting up the second-lowest ERA through 17 starts by any Yankees pitcher since 1913. First pitch is at 7:05 PM ET.

Pregame

The Yankees are priced as clear favorites despite 5 straight losses, and the number still holds up. Schlittler's ERA is historically elite, and New York's underlying roster advantage over a 36-49 club is real even with the injury attrition. Skids end — and they tend to end when your best arm takes the ball at home.

The Yankees have now lost 5 consecutive games — 4 to the Red Sox at Fenway, then Monday night's 7-3 thumping at home where things went sideways early. Jazz Chisholm Jr. is now in concussion protocol after Jasson Dominguez's glove caught him in the face chasing a shallow pop-up in the 4th inning. Aaron Judge has been out since early June with a right rib stress fracture, with September being the realistic re-evaluation window. Giancarlo Stanton is on the IL with a calf issue. Ryan McMahon is out with a throat infection. The Yankees are running on fumes in the lineup department, and their most dynamic position player's availability for tonight is genuinely uncertain.

Detroit walked into the Bronx and won game 1 with authority, which is worth noting for a Tigers club that's still 13 games under .500. They're carrying their own injury load — Verlander, Jackson Jobe, Parker Meadows, Wenceel Perez, Javier Baez, and Trey Sweeney are all on the IL — but the guys who are available showed up Monday. Skubal's been working through a stretch of recovery from his elbow procedure and the stuff is clearly still there: 9 strikeouts and 0 walks against these same Yankees on June 24. The home run ball has been the issue, not the miss. That's fixable.

Schlittler is the reason to back New York here. His last outing was 5 scoreless innings against the Red Sox — the bullpen gave the lead back and he absorbed the loss — but the performance itself was sharp. He's been that consistent all season, and the Yankees desperately need a dominant start tonight. Dropping a 6th straight to a team well below .500 at home would be a genuinely ugly stretch. Schlittler gives them the best path out of it. Whether a depleted lineup can actually put runs on the board behind him is the real question.
