Detroit Tigers vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction
The Tigers have one win since September 11, and I doubt Flaherty is going to turn things around with his 4.60 ERA and 1.28 WHIP. In 64 road innings, Flaherty has a 5.20 ERA and .260 allowed batting average. The Guardians are one of the hotter teams in baseball with just 2 losses since September 5, and they now have a chance to win the AL Central. Bibee has allowed 11 hits and 3 runs in his last 21.2 innings. In 80.2 home innings, Bibee has a 3.35 ERA and .225 allowed batting average. Two teams heading in different directions. I have to side with the Guardians at home as they enter the driver’s seat for the division crown.
