Cleveland Indians vs. Detroit Tigers MLB Picks, Odds, Predictions 5/26/2021

The Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers meet Wednesday in MLB action at Comerica Park.

The Cleveland Indians look for a win after winning five of their last seven games. The Indians have scored 15 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last eight games. The Indians have won 10 of their last 12 games when scoring four or more runs. Jose Ramirez leads the Indians with 42 hits and 26 RBI while Cesar Hernandez and Eddie Rosario have combined for 77 hits and 39 RBI. The Cleveland Indians didn’t list a starting pitcher at the time this article was published.

The Detroit Tigers need a win here to snap a four-game losing streak. The Tigers have scored eight runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last eight games. The Tigers have won 10 of their last 13 games when scoring four or more runs. Jeimer Candelario leads the Tigers with 49 hits and 16 RBI while Robbie Grossman and Jonathan Schoop have combined for 80 hits and 36 RBI. Jose Urena gets the ball, and he is 2-4 with a 4.62 ERA and 33 strikeouts this season. This will be Urena’s second career game against the Indians.

The Indians are 9-4 in their last 13 road games and 51-22 in their last 73 Wednesday games. The Tigers are 4-0 in their last 4 Wednesday games and 34-81 in their last 115 home games. The over is 4-0 in Indians last 4 overall. The over is 3-1-1 in Tigers last 5 overall. The Indians are 37-14 in the last 51 meetings in Detroit and 50-12 in the last 62 meetings.

The Cleveland Indians didn’t announce a starting pitcher for this contest, but I’m not sure it matters much in this spot. The Detroit Tigers look like they’re returning to reality with four straight losses and an offense that can’t produce. Jose Urena has also been awful for much of this season and when he gets hit hard, he gets hit hard. I’m not backing Urena with any confidence. Give me the Indians.
