The Yankees' 3-1 victory in the ALDS sets them up to watch the Game 5 matchup between the Guardians and Tigers, weighing potential playoff matchups.
Historically, it's astonishing how the Tigers have turned their season around, going from a 0.5% chance at playoffs to near ALCS contention post-August.
Despite concerns over Tarik Skubal's exceptional season and playoff performance, meeting the Tigers may still be preferable for the Yankees over facing Cleveland.
The unpredictability of the playoff format adds layers to the Yankees' strategy, making their next matchup crucial in securing a path to the World Series.
