Guardians at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 7, Guardians 4

Money line

The TIGERS (+135) are a value play at home as they look to avoid the broom in the series finale.

Plesac has been very giving this season, especially on the road, while Hill has been tremendous so far in his home park. The rookie also has confidence against the Guardians after beating them in his MLB debut July 4.

Run line/Against the spread

The TIGERS +1.5 (-117) are just 2-9 across their last 11 games, but they’re a strong play in Thursday’s day game with Plesac on the bump. Hill has allowed 3 or fewer runs in 3 of his last 4 outings, and he’ll cool off the Guardians bats in this one.

Over/Under

Play the OVER 8.5 (-112) with the very giving Plesac starting. Yes, the Under is 7-2 across his past 9 outings, but he has allowed 4 or more earned runs in 3 of his past 5 outings, including July 15 at home against Detroit in a no-decision. That outing ended up going Over, too.

Guardians at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Guardians 7, Tigers 5

Money line

The GUARDIANS (-175) are rather heavy favorites, but slightly under my personal limit of -180 for money line plays.

Cleveland won the first game by a 5-2 count, and it is now 6-2 in the past 8 games inside the AL Central Division.

Detroit is now just 3-13 in the past 16 games inside the division and has gone 1-4 in the previous 5 home games against teams with a winning overall record.

Run line/Against the spread

The GUARDIANS -1.5 (+100) are worth a look on the money line as they try to cover for the second time in as many days.

Cleveland has 4 victories just since Aug. 3 and has won by 2 or more runs in 3 of those outings.

On the flip side, Detroit is careening out of control and has lost 8 of its last 10 games, with each of the setbacks coming by 2 or more runs.

Over/Under

Over bettors lucked out when the Tigers scratched out 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th Tuesday to grab the push in the series opener. We won’t really need a lot of luck to hit the OVER 8.5 (+100) Wednesday. Civale and Hutchinson are both very giving, and we should get the Over sooner rather than later.

Guardians at Tigers projected starters

RHP Shane Bieber vs. LHP Tyler Alexander

Bieber (6-6, 3.39 ERA) makes his 21st start. He has a 1.12 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 9.1 K/9 through 124 2/3 IP.

Over/Under (O/U): 7.5 (O: -105 | U: -120)

Guardians at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Guardians 4, Tigers 2

Money line

The Guardians (-190) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return and that’s just too much to risk for your payout. While Cleveland has been playing good ball lately, and Detroit is just 2-12 in the past 14 games inside the AL Central Division, AVOID. This is just too risky, especially with the Tigers at home.

Run line/Against the spread

The GUARDIANS -1.5 (-108) are a much better play on the run line. The Tigers have managed to win just 4 times in the past 21 outings agaisnt a right-handed starting pitcher, while going 1-5 in their last 6 contests at home vs. RHP.

Over/Under

The UNDER 7.5 (-120) is a strong play. While it’s all about the Over for Cleveland lately, the Under is 6-4 in Bieber’s last 10 starts. The Under is 8-1-3 in the last 12 games overall for Detroit, too, while going 10-3-2 in its last 15 series openers.
