Starting this game for the Tigers will be Framber Valdez, who has a record of 8-10 and an ERA of 4.36. Valdez has consistently struggled on the road this season and, therefore, should have the same issues against a decent Guardians’ offense.

Our Cleveland Guardians vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
Cleveland is the clear favorite in this game; however, they still look to be the best betting option. This goes directly to the home/away splits between the two starting pitchers. For instance, Valdez has made 14 away starts this season, in which he has allowed 41 runs (38 earned) over 78.0 innings. Messick, on the other hand, has made 14 home starts this season, having allowed 27 runs (24 earned) over 81.0 innings.
The Guardians’ playoff hopes are by no means set in stone, meaning they have little room for error the rest of the season. Further, Cleveland has beaten Detroit in the majority of the meetings between them this season; therefore, because of the advantage they have on the mound, our Cleveland Guardians vs Detroit Tigers prediction is: Cleveland Guardians ML.
