The Cleveland Guardians and Detroit Tigers face off on Thursday in an MLB showdown at Comerica Park.
The Tigers come into this game with a 15-28 record overall but they are coming off a win on Wednesday over the Minnesota Twins. It was good pitching and a few runs late that allowed them to win in 10 innings. The Tigers' offense has been awful all season averaging only 2.74 runs per game which is 30th in the MLB. Miguel Cabrera has been the top player for the Tigers hitting three home runs and driving in 16 RBIs.
On the other side of this matchup is the Guardians who sit with an 18-22 record overall and they have lost two games in a row. During the two games, Cleveland has scored only four runs total, and that is a bit shocking with how good their offense has been all season. The top player for Cleveland has been Jose Ramirez and he has hit 11 home runs and driven in 43 RBIs.
On the mound for the Guardians will be Konnor Pilkington who sits with a 0-0 record and an ERA of 2.08. His last appearance was on the 8th against the Toronto Blue Jays, and he went 3.2 innings giving up three hits and two runs.
On the mound for the Tigers is Tarik Skubal who sits with a 3-2 record and an ERA of 2.22. Over his last three starts he has gone 18 innings total and given up only ten hits and zero runs.
The Tigers are 4-1 in Skubal’s last five home starts. The under is 4-0 in Skubal’s last four starts. The under is 7-1 in the Tigers last eight games during Game 1 of a series. Cleveland is 4-1 in their last five games against a left-handed starter.
The Guardians have struggled to score the last couple of games, and it’s not going to get any easier in this game. Skubal has given up zero runs over his last 18 innings, and Cleveland isn’t going to find any more success scoring here. The Tigers are going to win this game easily. Back the Tigers -1.5.
