Historically, the Yankees have a slight edge in regular season games, but the Tigers lead in postseason series. Recent head-to-heads have been competitive.
The Yankees are dealing with injuries, notably Giancarlo Stanton's possible season-long absence and other lineup uncertainties.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, reigning World Series champions, host the Detroit Tigers in their home opener. The Dodgers have bolstered their roster with signings like Shohei Ohtani and Blake Snell, while the Tigers look to contend with Tarik Skubal and Riley Greene leading their lineup.
Key Factors to Consider
The Dodgers are favorites, bolstered by recent signings and a strong lineup featuring Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman. The Tigers, while promising with Skubal and Greene, face a tough test against a deep Dodgers roster.
There's no recent head-to-head data provided, but historically, the Dodgers have an advantage playing at home.
No significant injury updates have been noted for either team.
Home field advantage plays a significant role, but Tarik Skubal's performance could mitigate this factor.
Both teams are highly motivated, with the Dodgers seeking to continue their dominant run and the Tigers aiming to make a statement in the AL Central.
