Yankees at Tigers: Series Preview

After dropping another series to the Red Sox, the Yankees have plenty of work to do as September beckons. They still top the Wild Card standings, but are now five games back in the division race. The Bombers need to close that gap before their final series with Boston over Labor Day weekend. Hopefully a series with the lowly Tigers will help get things going.

Detroit has dropped eight of their last 10 and sit 15 games under .500. The Yankees won’t have to see Justin Verlander in this series, either. That’s another bonus.
