Cleveland Guardians vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
The Guardians have lost once over the last 12 days, and wins like yesterday only add to the confidence. Flaherty will pitch for the first time in a week, and he’s allowed 13 runs in his last 20 innings. The Tigers have lost 8 of the last 11 games Flaherty has pitched. Not thrilled with either pitcher, but the Guardians have caught fire lately, and I’ll bank on that continuing. Give me the Guardians on the road.
