Detroit Tigers vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction

I might take a stab on the Guardians here. I could certainly go either way, though. Williams will need a bounce-back start. He posted there earned in 3.2 innings during a loss to the Padres his last time up. Williams put up 10.1 innings with one earned over his previous pair, though.

On Wednesday the Guardians had just four hits, but they also held Detroit to just two on the other side. It took five arms to get there however, so Cleveland will need a nice outing from Williams. It might be prudent to try Detroit in this one.
