Detroit Tigers at Cleveland Guardians Preview & Picks
Cleveland are tipped to win as a home underdog in the series opener.
The Guardians ended the season with a surge that included five wins over Detroit, and although the Tigers are starting Tarik Skubal in this one, we are not confident about their ability to generate offense.
- Cleveland Guardians are 19-4 in their last 23 games
- Cleveland Guardians are 5-1 against Detroit this month
- Detroit Tigers are 3-13 in their previous 16 games
- The Under has cashed in 7 of the last 10 meetings
Head To Head
- The all-time series is tied at 1166-1166-12
- Detroit Tigers won 4-2 when the two teams last met on September 25
Detroit Tigers Form
Detroit booked their place in the postseason with an 87-75 record that earned them second place in the AL Central standings.
The Tigers appeared to be cruising towards the playoffs in late August, but their form tailed off badly during the final few weeks of the regular season.
They lost eight straight games between September 16 and September 24, with five of those defeats coming at the hands of Cleveland.
Detroit’s five losses to the Guardians handed top spot in the division to their opponents, and they were unable to get it back over the final weekend of the regular season.
The Tigers wrapped up their schedule in Boston, where they sandwiched a 2-1 win over the Red Sox with a couple of 4-3 defeats.
Cleveland Guardians Form
Cleveland secured their place in the playoffs by compiling an 88-74 record to finish top of the AL Central standings.
The Guardians ended the regular season as one of the in-form teams in Major League Baseball, winning 19 of their final 23 games.
The big run during that sequence was a 10-game tear that included three victories over the Tigers in Detroit.
Cleveland then won back-to-back meetings with Detroit at home, 5-2 and 5-1, to leapfrog the Tigers and take spot in the division.
The Guardians dropped the last meeting, 4-2, and then lost 7-3 at home to Texas, but they won the final two games against the Rangers, 3-2 and 9-8, to claim the division crown.
Verdict
Cleveland have been in fantastic form during September and own a bunch of wins over Detroit.
Detroit, on the other hand, found victories hard to come by, so give us the Guardians and the plus-money despite Skubal getting the start for the Tigers.
