Prediction: Cleveland Guardians VS Detroit Tigers 2025-05-24
The Motor City is revving its engines, ready to take on the Cleveland Guardians. The Detroit Tigers, with their impressive 33-19 record, are looking to keep their momentum going, and with Casey Mize returning from injury, they're getting a significant boost. Mize's 2.53 ERA and 1.01 WHIP are no joke, and he's sure to give the Guardians' struggling offense a run for their money.
The Tigers' offense, on the other hand, is firing on all cylinders, ranking seventh in OPS and ninth in xwOBA. Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene are leading the charge, with Torkelson's 13 home runs and 40 RBIs making him a force to be reckoned with.
The Guardians, with their 28-22 record, are no slouches, but their weaker bullpen and offense (ranking 23rd in OPS and 27th in xwOBA) make them the underdogs in this matchup. Jose Ramirez is doing his best to carry the team, batting .306 with 10 doubles, a triple, nine home runs, and 17 walks, but it might not be enough to take down the mighty Tigers.
With the Tigers being favored at -146, I think they're a steal. They have the superior pitching, better hitting, and home-field advantage, making them the clear choice to win. My best bet is on the Tigers to take this one, and I'm confident they'll come out on top.
Best Bet: Detroit Tigers (-146)
