(MLB) Guardians (CLE) vs. Tigers (DET),
Money Line: -105.00 Tigers (DET) (Home)
Result: Win
#908 ASA PLAY ON Detroit Tigers -105 over Cleveland Guardians, Wednesday at 3:08 PM ET - Action on pitchers. The Tigers are essentially going with a bullpen game here. The Guardians are expected to start a pitcher who dealt with injuries and missed much of this season and has a history of road struggles. That said, the pitchers here are not the critical factor here but we will say that we do like the Detroit pitcher who, even if he does not start, is likely going to get the bulk of the work here. Detroit's Brant Hurter has gone 6-1 this season and averaged nearly 5 innings in his 10 appearances on the campaign. He was particularly dominant at home where he compiled a 1.88 ERA and held opponents to a .176 batting average while going 4-0 in his 6 outings at Comerica Park. The Guardians Alex Cobb only made 3 starts this season and the one on the road was a disaster. Last season, as a member of the Giants, Cobb went 2-5 with a 5.70 ERA in his road starts. In fact, 2021 and 2022 also saw Cobb have ERA numbers above 5.00 in his road starts. His history of road struggles continues here. The Tigers are on a 34-14 run overall and also 17-7 last 24 games at home. The Guardians have lost 10 of 18 on the road and scored an average of only 1.4 runs in the 10 losses. Cleveland hit just .231 on the road in the regular season and that ranks 24th of all 30 MLB teams and also dead last of all teams that made the post-season this year. Considering all of the above, this is solid line value here with the home team. Take Detroit!
