The Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners will square off in Game 5 of the 2025 American League Division Series on Friday, October 10. The winner will advance to the American League Championship Series to face the Toronto Blue Jays in a best-of-seven showdown for a spot in the World Series.

Detroit will send its ace, AL Cy Young frontrunner Tarik Skubal, to the mound. Skubal posted a 13-6 record with a 2.21 ERA during the regular season, the second-best mark in the majors. He started Game 2 of the ALDS, allowing two earned runs over seven innings but did not factor into the decision.

Seattle will counter with its own ace, George Kirby, setting up what should be a classic pitcher’s duel. Kirby started Game 1, surrendering two earned runs on six hits over five innings. Like Skubal, he didn’t factor into the decision as the Mariners ultimately fell in extra innings.
