This is a 7* on CLEVELAND

An obvious pitching mismatch here with Shane Bieber of the Indians facing a Tigers team that is last in the American League in runs scored. Detroit did win last night’s game 1-0, but that was only after losing six straight to the Tribe. Going back to the beginning of 2018, Detroit is just 9-31 head to head with Cleveland. That’s not good! The Indians are an impressive 16-7 following a shutout loss the past three seasons, including 4-0 in 2021. Now they hand the ball to Bieber, who has yet to allow more than three earned runs in any of his starts this season and he’s pitched 10 times. Cleveland is 7-3 in those 10 games, the last one being a 5-3 win against Minnesota on Saturday. In seven career starts against the Tigers, Bieber is 5-2 with a 2.45 ERA. One of those two losses actually came on Opening Day despite Bieber having 12 strikeouts and giving up only three runs over six innings. Detroit has scored just two runs in the last two games and is 7-16 in daytime starts this year. Matthew Boyd has a 3-6 career record against the Indians. Play on CLEVELAND
