Here are three things for MLBTR readers to keep an eye on today: 1. Po sible clinches in the AL: The Yankees and Mariners are all but guaranteed a playoff spot, and todays games could remove the all but qualifier from that phrase. If the Yankees beat the White Sox, theyll clinch a playoff spot for themselves and also open the door for the Mariners to clinch a spot with a win over the Rockies later in the evening. Yankees right-hander (3.33 ERA in nine starts) will take on rookie righty (4.06 ERA) in todays Yankees/White Sox game, scheduled to begin at 7:05pm local time. The Mariners host the Rockies in a game set for 6:40pm local time. Mariners righty (5.56 ERA in 16 starts) and Rox rookie (9.17 ERA in five starts) are expected to take the mound. 2. Series Preview: Tigers @ Guardians Arguably the most high-stakes series remaining on the 2025 calendar starts today when the slumping Tigers head to Cleveland for a three-game set David Nwaba Jersey against the surging Guardians. Detroit has lost six games in a row, and while the Guardians saw their win streak snapped at ten games on Sunday, theyve still won 16 of their past 19 games. That remarkable stretch leaves Cleveland just one game back of the Tigers in the AL Central. Detroit will hope to jump out to a quick series lead tonight with AL Cy Young front-runner (2.23 ERA) on the mound opposite Guardians righty (3.06 ERA). Tomorrow, (4.60 ERA) will take on (4.34 ERA). The series wraps Thursday with Guardians rookie (2.08 ERA in six starts) set to go for Cleveland, while Detroits starter remains TBD. 3.
