The Detroit Tigers and the Cleveland Guardians will fire the opening salvo of their best-of-five division playoff series on Saturday at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio. After coming out of nowhere to grab the No.2 wild card berth in the American League, the Tigers are taking their amazing run into their division playoff series with their AL Central rivals. Detroit’s confidence is at all-time high right now after gutting out two straight wins against perennial World Series contender Houston Astros in their wild card series. The Tigers unleashed their pitching prowess in that duel, holding the Astros way below their .262 batting average. The Guardians topped the AL Central after winning 92 games in the regular season. Cleveland’s batting numbers are considered mid, but their pitching staff are elite, allowing their opponent to a 3.61 ERA – the third lowest in the MLB. They are also in the top-5 in WHIP (1.20) and BAA (.230).
