The Detroit Tigers, who are closing in on their first American League Central title since 2014, are set to visit the Miami Marlins on Friday night for the start of a three-game series.

Both teams will pitch Cy Young Award winners on Friday: left-hander Tarik Skubal (13-4, 2.10 ERA) for Detroit and right-hander Sandy Alcantara (8-12, 5.67) for Miami.

Marlins first baseman Eric Wagaman, who went 3-for-4 with three RBIs in a 5-0 win over the Washington Nationals on Thursday, was asked by the FanDuel Sports Network about facing Skubal.

"We'll go in knowing he has really good stuff, and he is doing what he's doing for a reason," Wagaman said. "We will go out there and compete, and we know that Sandy will have our backs on the bump.

"It should be a really good matchup. It should be fun."
