Tigers vs. Guardians Head-to-Head Stats
The Tigers are 1159-1155 all-time against the Guardians.
The Guardians won the season series against the Tigers 7-6.
Tigers Magical Run
The Tigers have been playing postseason baseball for two months now. In August, they had a +50000 chance to win the World Series, and now that line stands at +750. The Tigers finished the season with the third AL wild card spot and recently took down the Houston Astros, ending their run of seven consecutive appearances in the ALCS. In that Houston series, the Tigers’ pitching led the way, allowing only two runs in two games.
Detroit is on a grinding run right now and is enjoying every bit of it. This is their first postseason appearance in ten years. The Tigers rank around 20th in offense but are in the top five in pitching. They were able to beat the Astros with solid pitching and timely hitting, with contributions from the top of the lineup to the bottom. The Tigers will need that same recipe for success against Cleveland.
Guardians Pitching Leads The Way
The Cleveland Guardians finished the season with a 92-69 record, won the AL Central, and had the second-best record in the AL. Cleveland’s All-Star player is third baseman José Ramírez, who leads the team with 39 home runs and 118 RBIs. Their offense ranks in the middle of the pack, while their pitching is in the top five in the league, sitting third in ERA with 3.61.
This team relies on solid bullpen pitching and the ability to hit home runs at any moment. Runs can be hard to come by in the postseason, but the Cleveland offense has the potential to score big with just one swing. At times, the bullpen will need to be their ace in the hole to win close games in this series. Finally, Cleveland hasn’t won a World Series since 1948, and the quest for that title begins now.
Tigers vs Guardians Prediction
A lot of these games will be low scoring and close. The Tigers already shutdown the Astros with their pitching and the bats did enough to win the series. The Guardians are rested and that bullpen strength will definitely help them in this series. The main difference between these two teams is the offensive depth of Cleveland. The bats are slightly more efficient and consistent.
