Cleveland Guardians vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
The Tigers are going to find success here. I don’t trust Howard for the Guardians, and the Tigers bats have proven when they get hot early, they can continue the success for most of the game. This is going to be one of those games they jump out to a fast start. Flaherty is also going to have one of his more solid starts of the season and it will be Detroit that will come out on top. Back the Guardians on the money line.
