Detroit Tigers at Cleveland Guardians Preview & Picks

Cleveland are tipped to complete a series sweep of Detroit to take a two-game lead in the AL Central.

  • Cleveland Guardians are 17-2 in their last 19 games
  • Detroit Tigers are 1-11 in their last 11 games
  • Cleveland Guardians have won 5 straight meetings
  • The Under has cashed in 8 of the previous 12 meetings

Head To Head

  • Cleveland Guardians lead the all-time series 1166-1165-12
  • Cleveland Guardians won 5-1 when the two teams last met on September 24

Detroit Tigers Form

Detroit go into the final game of this big AL Central series in miserable form, having now lost 11 of their last 12 games.

The Tigers' terrible run started a 9-3 defeat at the New York Yankees, which was then followed by 8-2 and 6-4 losses in Miami.

They took the final meeting with the Marlins, 2-0, only to then return home and get swept by Cleveland, losing 7-5, 4-0 and 3-1, and Atlanta, losing 10-1, 6-5 and 6-2.

That left Detroit level with Cleveland in the AL Central standings, and they now find themselves trailing the Guardians after a couple of defeats.

The Tigers lost the series opener 5-2, and then fell to a 5-1 defeat when the two teams met again last night.

Cleveland Guardians Form

Cleveland go into the series finale with Detroit having won 17 of their last 19 games to surge to the summit in the AL Central.

The Guardians kicked off this run in Tampa as they bounced back from a 4-2 loss with 7-1, 3-2 and 2-1 wins, and they then beat Kansas City 10-2 and 2-0 at home, before responding to a 4-3 loss with a 3-2 victory.

They then swept the Chicago White Sox with 4-0, 3-1 and 3-2 wins, before heading to division rivals Detroit to sweep the Tigers with 7-5, 4-0 and 3-1 victories.

Cleveland then extended their streak to 10 games with 6-2, 7-0 and 8-0 wins in Minnesota, before finally seeing it end with a 6-2 defeat to the Twins.

However, the Guardians had done enough to pull level with Detroit in the AL Central, and they have now gone two games clear at the top thanks to 5-2 and 5-1 wins over the Tigers.

Verdict

These two teams are headed in very different directions right now.

While Detroit's form has completely collapsed, Cleveland have become the hottest team in Major League Baseball, so we are sticking with the Guardians for this series finale.
