Guardians vs Tigers Predictions and Picks
Cleveland is 37-37 on the road and 9-1 in its last 10 games. The Guardians are ranked 27th in runs scored, 30th in batting average, 29th in on-base percentage, and 29th in slugging percentage. They are ranked sixth in ERA.
Jose Ramirez leads the team in batting average, home runs, and RBIs. In the Sox series, Ramirez had one hit and one run scored. The Guardians need to keep the winning ways going and find a way to win another close game. On the mound for Cleveland is Joey Cantillo, who is 5-3, with a 3.46 ERA. He has two quality starts this season, and those outings both came in this month.
Detroit is 46-29 at home and 5-5 in its last 10 games. The Tigers are seventh in runs scored, 13th in batting average, 13th in on-base percentage, and 10th in slugging percentage. They are ranked 13th in ERA.
Riley Greene leads the team in batting average, home runs, and RBIs. In the Miami series, he had two hits and two runs scored. Detroit will look to find their offense again and get some consistency from the pitching staff. On the mound for the Tigers is Casey Mize, who is 14-5, with a 3.83 ERA. He has nine quality starts this season and has allowed only one earned run in 12 innings of work against the Guardians.
Best Bet: Under
The Guardians just had a low-scoring series against Chicago, and the Tigers' pitching is coming off a shutout. Cantillo has back-to-back quality starts, and Mize has only given one earned run against Cleveland this season. Also, with a lot on the line in this series, the pitching needs to set the tone.
