Tarik Skubal’s days in a Tigers uniform may be numbered.

With the MLB trade deadline just days away, the star southpaw’s chances of being dealt are steadily increasing, according to Kalshi.

As Detroit struggles to remain in the postseason race, Skubal’s chances of staying with the franchise through the deadline have dropped to just 13 percent — meaning the market gives him an 87 percent chance of being traded.

As recently as a week ago, there was a 20 percent chance that Skubal would remain in the Motor City.

Meanwhile, two National League contenders are gaining steam in the race for the two-time Cy Young Award winner.

The Dodgers, who are seeking a third straight World Series title, are the heavy favorites, with a 38 percent chance of landing Skubal.

Earlier this week, MLB insider Ken Rosenthal cited the Dodgers as a potential suitor for Skubal, pointing to Shohei Ohtani’s recent injury scare as one reason Los Angeles could pursue additional rotation help.

But they have some competition.

The Brewers have emerged as a dark-horse candidate to acquire Skubal, with a 21 percent chance on Kalshi — the second-highest odds among the potential destinations.

Milwaukee is tied with the Dodgers for the best record in baseball at 67-40 entering Wednesday’s action and is looking to get over the hump after several postseason flameouts in recent years.

The Rays and Yankees remain in the mix at 10 percent and 9 percent, respectively, while no other team has odds higher than 8 percent.

Skubal may have made his final start for the Tigers on Wednesday, tossing 6 2/3 innings while allowing three runs and striking out six.

The ace left-hander has made it known that he plans to test the open market when he becomes a free agent this offseason.
