The Cleveland Guardians and Detroit Tigers meet Saturday in MLB action at Comerica Park. The Cleveland Guardians look to snap a 3-game losing streak. The Detroit Tigers look for a win after splitting their last 10 games.
The Cleveland Guardians have scored 7 runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 6 of their last 9 games. The Guardians have lost 6 straight games when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Jose Ramirez leads the Guardians with 45 hits and 43 RBI, while Myles Straw and Amed Rosario have combined for 72 hits and 16 RBI. Shane Bieber gets the ball, and he is 1-3 with a 3.55 ERA and 46 strikeouts this season. Bieber is 6-3 with a 2.31 ERA and 86 strikeouts in his career against the Tigers.
The Detroit Tigers have scored 8 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 of their last 10 games. The Tigers have won 6 of their last 7 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Miguel Cabrera leads the Tigers with 42 hits and 18 RBI, while Jeimer Candelario and Jonathan Schoop have combined for 56 hits and 24 RBI. Alex Faedo gets the ball, and he is 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA and 14 strikeouts this season. This will be Faedo’s second career game against the Guardians.
The Guardians are 1-4 in their last 5 road games and 1-4 in their last 5 overall. The Tigers are 4-0 in their last 4 home games and 10-21 in their last 31 overall. The under is 5-1-1 in Guardians last 7 overall. The under is 42-17-3 in Tigers last 62 overall. The Guardians are 40-16 in the last 56 meetings in Detroit and 62-20 in the last 82 meetings.
The Cleveland Guardians are going to be favored for obvious reasons, as they’re the better team overall and Shane Bieber is a respectable name who has held his own this season. However, the Guardians aren’t exactly the most consistent team in the world, and Alex Faedo has been sharp through his first 21 career innings. Faedo has allowed 22 hits and 7 runs while striking out 14 and getting 27 ground balls. Faedo allowed 2 runs to the Guardians in 5.1 innings last week. I’ll take a stab with the plus money and the home team.
