Detroit Tigers at Cleveland Guardians Preview & Picks
Cleveland are backed to complete the turn-around and advance in the postseason.
Guardians starter Slade Cecconi is a concern, but Detroit have struggled for offense during this bad run of form, so as long as the Cleveland bats show up, they can overcome any of Cecconi's struggles.
- Cleveland Guardians are 20-5 in their last 25 games
- Cleveland Guardians are 6-2 against Detroit since the start of September
- Detroit Tigers are 4-14 in their previous 18 games
- The Under has cashed in 5 of the last 7 meetings (1 push)
Head To Head
- The all-time series is tied at 1167-1167-12
- This MLB Wild Card series is tied at 1-1
- Cleveland Guardians won 6-1 when the two teams last met on October 1
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 issued the perfect response to their Game 1 defeat, and we expect them to back it up.
The Guardians have been on a good run for weeks, while the Tigers have been struggling offensively as they have stacked up losses.
