The Detroit Tigers will try to get back on the right side of the scoreboard today when they take on one of their division rivals, the Guardians, in Cleveland at Progressive Field. It is the first of a three-game series; First Pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. EST.
Detroit beat the Nationals in Game One of their midweek series on Wednesday, 11-2. However, they then lost the second game of a doubleheader on Wednesday, 9-4, and followed that up with an 11-7 loss yesterday. Cleveland, on the other hand, has been on a losing streak, coming up on the short end of the scoreboard in their last seven games. They lost yesterday to the Cubs in extra innings, 1-0 F/10. Reese Olson will make his return to the majors for the Tigers after spending some time on the IL (15-day). He has pitched well when healthy, going 4-3 in nine games with a 2.96 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. Olson is 1-2 in five road starts with a 3.76 ERA but held opponents to a .191 BA. Cleveland will hand the ball to Slade Cecconi to start the day. He’s gone 3-3 in eight starts with a 3.64 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP.

Our Detroit Tigers vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction
Nothing gets you back on track quite like facing a team that is struggling worse than you. Cecconi will not make it easy for the Tigers, but with the Detroit lineup hitting so well over the last week (.313), they’ll eventually pull ahead and get a few runs on the board against him. But Cleveland’s lineup has been struggling (.197 over the last week) and will not get back on track against Olson.
Our Tigers vs. Indians Pick: Detroit -1.5
