Tigers Fell Short

The Tigers put up a solid fight on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays, but it wasn’t enough as the pitching gave up five runs. The Blue Jays jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but as the game went on, they weren’t good enough. Justyn-Henry Malloy had a strong game, hitting a home run and driving in four RBIs. The Tigers are averaging 4.29 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.32 runs per game. The offense is ranked 16th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 16th. Getting the start for the Tigers will be Tarik Skubal who sits with a 10-3 record and an ERA of 2.41. In his last start against the Los Angeles Dodgers, he went six innings giving up two hits and two runs. The Tigers are going to need Skubal to dominate here.

Guardians Have Lost Two Straight Games

The Guardians have lost two straight games against the San Diego Padres, and the offense has been a major reason why. Over the last two games, the offense has scored only one run total, and that isn’t even close enough to be competitive. The Guardians are averaging 4.71 runs, while their pitching is giving up 3.86 runs per game. The offense is ranked 10th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 5th. Jose Ramirez has hit 23 home runs and driven in 79 RBIs so far this season. Getting the start for the Guardians will be Carlos Carrasco, who sits with a 3-7 record and an ERA of 5.02. In his last start against the Tampa Bay Rays, he went five innings giving up six hits and two runs.

Detroit Tigers vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction

The Guardians' offense has really struggled heading into this game, and it’s going to be no different in this game. Skubal has been dominant this season, and he’s going to be dominant again here. In his last start he gave up only two runs and the Guardians won’t even get to that here. I don’t trust Carrasco, and he sits with an ERA of 5.02. The Tigers' offense is going to find success off of him here, and it’s going to be the Tigers that are going to get the job done. Back the Tigers on the money line.
