T.M. Selection: Cleveland Guardians.
I like the Cleveland Guardians to win this game against the Detroit Tigers on Friday. The Guardians haven't looked great lately but they just won their most recent game over the Tigers to start this series off on the right foot, and I think they are going to get another win here in their ballpark. The Tigers were on a little run just over a week ago but they have cooled off significantly and are back to playing at their usual level. The Tigers haven't been good in road games this year though and I think the Guardians are going to take advantage of that here. It was just over a week ago that these 2 teams face each other in a 4 game series in Detroit which the Tigers swept. I think that sweep is still fresh in the Guardians minds though and I expect a much better effort from them in this entire series. Zach Plesac (2-7, 3.99 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has been great this year. He gave up 4 runs in his most recent start and didn't look that great but he also had 7 starts in a row before that where he looked great and I think he will bounce back in this game after that bad performance last time out. The Tigers have 1 of the weakest lineups and offenses in the league too so I see him shutting down the Tigers here, who are already much worse in road games too. Drew Hutchison (1-4, 4.08 ERA) is up for the Tigers here and he was moved into this role from the bullpen midway through the year but he hasn't been terrible in his 4 starts, giving up no more than 3 runs in any of those. He doesn't usually go more than 5 innings though and he has had a few blow up innings this year as a reliever so going the distance isn't something he's really used to. He also doesn't strikeout a lot of batters while giving up quite a few hits and I think he will get himself into trouble here with this Guardians lineup that hits well against the shift in their own ballpark. I expect the Guardians to still have that sweep on their minds here and I think they will win this game to try and get them back. I like the Guardians to win this game.
T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Guardians.
