Saturday's matchup between Detroit and Cleveland projects to be low-scoring, with both teams possessing elite bullpens. The Tigers will mix and match several arms throughout the game, leaving the Guardians off-balance. Tanner Bibee has had some rocky starts against Detroit in the past but did hold them in check in the last two meetings, allowing just three runs in 11.0 combined frames. Behind him is a Cleveland bullpen that ranked 1st in ERA (2.57) and WHIP (1.05) during the regular season and was especially dominant down the stretch, posting a 1.31 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over the last 30 days.

Both lineups score when they need to, but neither is high-scoring, ranking 17th (CLE) and 21st (DET) in wRC+ this year. The under cashed in three of the last four meetings between these teams during the regular season, and the familiarity between them should result in a tight, tense affair. The total is low, but it's not too low for a Tigers-Guardians playoff game!
