Cleveland Guardians vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
The Detroit Tigers are worth a look in the underdog role because they continue to hover around a .500 record. Xzavion Curry also hasn’t been great this year in a limited role, and the lack of consistent reps is a concern. However, the Tigers didn’t announce a pitcher at the time this article was published, and the Guardians are still the most profitable team in MLB. As long as that remains true, and we keep getting these cheap prices, I’m going to keep siding with the Guardians.
