At 4:08pm ET, my ALDS Game Of The Year is on the Detroit Tigers. For the Tigers to have any hope, they need to win every time that Skubal takes the mound. That's essentially what they've done all season long! The future American League Cy Young Award winner was 18-4 with a 2.39 ERA during the season. He's 8-1 with a 2.37 ERA since the All Star Break. Former Tiger Mathew Boyd goes for the Guardians. The veteran, who is a friend of Skubal's, has battled to even stay in the big leagues. He had Tommy John surgery last year. Great job in getting back to this level and to start on this stage but he's not ready to go toe-to-toe with the best pitcher in the league. Boyd will give his best but it won't be enough. The Tigers have been counted out all year and they refuse to say die. They may not win the series but they will win this game! With the Skubal/Boyd pitching matchup, it's my opinon that the line could be much higher. Play on Detroit.
