Our Cleveland Guardians vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Tigers take first game of the series vs. the Guardians
Why we should bet on the Tigers to cover -1.5 runs: Apart from their 17-5 record at Comerica Park this season, the Tigers are sending in Guardians killer Jack Flaherty, who has allowed zero earned runs in his last two starts vs. Cleveland. The Tigers are batting 5.4 runs per game on a .259 batting average at home this season, which could be bad news for Guardians starter Tanner Bibee. Bibee allowed 4 earned runs in 4-5 loss to the Cincinnati Reds in his last start on May 16. Cleveland is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games, while Detroit is 8-2 SU in its last 10 games against an American League Central Division opponent.
