Detroit Tigers vs. Cleveland Guardians Prediction

I’m backing the under in this one. This to me just sets up as another low-scoring AL Central division duel between these two teams as both starters are in some really great form right now, and these matchups between the Guardians and Tigers always seem to end up being the first to 3 wins. I think that trend continues so give me the under here.
