Tigers hope Skubal turns the season around
The Tigers are having a rough season but they have hope with their ace returning ahead of schedule from an injury. Tarik Skubal is the best pitcher in the American League and he looks to pick up where he left off as he’s allowed only 13 runs in 43 innings pitched while tossing 45 strikeouts. The hope is that his first start back is a strong one since the team can use him in the rotation.
Skubal is great but the lineup is awful, scoring only 4.13 runs per game. Riley Greene has eight home runs and 115 total bases while Dillon Dingler has 16 home runs and 120 total bases but the rest of the lineup has struggled. Only five batters have an OPS+ over 100 and opposing pitchers can limit the top-heavy lineup as a result.
Cleveland hopes Cantillo and lineup improve
The Guardians are having a great season but hope to rebound from a rough patch and improve in the division race. Joey Cantillo will start the upcoming game and he looks to improve on what’s been a rough season as he’s allowed 38 runs in 67 innings pitched.

Cantillo looks to improve but the lineup has let them down all season, scoring only 4.04 runs per game. Travis Bazzana has four home runs and 60 total bases while Jose Ramirez has 10 home runs and 110 total bases but the rest of the lineup has struggled. Only five active batters have an OPS+ over 100 and opposing pitchers can limit the lineup.
Tigers vs Guardians Pick
Money Line Pick For Tigers vs Guardians
- Tigers (-110) (4 units)
The Tigers are having a rough season but with their ace back on the mound, I see them taking over this game from the first inning. The Tigers should constantly plate baserunners against Joey Cantillo, who has allowed 38 runs in 67 innings pitched, with Riley Greene and Dillon Dingler making contact and putting together strong plate appearances. The Tigers should limit the Guardians lineup with Tarik Skubal stepping up and tossing multiple strong innings to allow the bullpen to close out the game with a lead. The Tigers should win the game with a strong performance on the road.
Take the Tigers money line as road Favorites.
Over/Under Pick For Tigers vs Guardians
- Under 8 (5 units)
Both teams have awful lineups and I see this game being a low-scoring one from the first pitch. The Guardians should limit the Tigers lineup, which averages only 4.13 runs per game, with Joey Cantillo pitching multiple strong innings. The Tigers should eliminate and potentially shut out the Guardians, who average only 4.04 runs per game, with Tarik Skubal, who has allowed only 13 runs in 43 innings pitched, tossing multiple scoreless innings with minimal contact and multiple strikeouts. The Under should cover in a low-scoring game with both starting pitchers stepping up.
Take the Under on 8 runs
