Cleveland Guardians - Detroit Tigers Key Points

  1. Tarik Skubal has an ERA of 2.70 this season
  2. Tarik Skubal has an ERA of 2.35 on the road this season
  3. Joey Cantillo has an ERA of 4.57 this season
  4. Joey Cantillo has an ERA of 4.08 at home this season

Our Cleveland Guardians vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

Detroit is the clear favorite in this game; however, they still look to be the best betting option. Before Skubal was injured back in April, he made five starts on the road, having allowed nine runs (eight earned) over 30.2 innings. Cantillo, on the other hand, has made six home starts this season, having allowed 15 runs (13 earned) over 28.2 innings.

Both Detroit and Cleveland are admittedly in the bottom third of the league in terms of runs per game. Therefore, given that Skubal is on the mound for the Tigers, even after all the time he missed with an injury, our Cleveland Guardians vs Detroit Tigers prediction is: Detroit Tigers ML.
