Tigers vs Guardians MLB Betting Preview, Prediction
Jack Flaherty takes on Tanner Bibee to kick off the division matchup between the Tigers and Guardians. While Jack Flaherty has a significantly worse ERA (5.31) than Bibee (4.09), Flaherty is a much better SP across the past month.
- Flaherty from March 28 to May 1 – 22.7% K, 17.7% BB, 5.38 xERA, 5.91 xFIP
- Flaherty from May 6 to June 7 – 29.6% K, 5.3% BB, 3.90 xERA, 3.14 xFIP
Despite similar production against right-handed pitching this season, the Tigers are also hitting better in recent games, thanks to the return of Gleyber Torres and Kerry Carpenter.
Detroit has the 12th-best offense in the past two weeks (114 wRC+), while the Guardians have the third-worst (85 wRC+).
The Guardians sit 7.5 games higher in the standings this year despite just three more runs in their differential. Meanwhile, the Tigers are 7-3 in their past 10 games, while the Guardians are 3-7. These teams are not as far apart as they seem.
Pick: Tigers Moneyline (+100, FanDuel)
