Pick: Guardians ML (-150)
The Cleveland Guardians and the Detroit Tigers will play the third game of a four game weekday series here on Wednesday night in Detroit. It has been a back-and-forth series throughout the first two games with both teams picking up one victory heading into game three In the opening game of the series, it was a one to nothing Detroit win and in game number two, it was a 9 to 8 Cleveland victory. So there has certainly been a variety of solid hitting and fantastic pitching throughout the opening two games of this series. It’ll be interesting to see how game number three unfolds here on Wednesday night with both teams looking to clinch at least a share of this four game set.
It was an offensive explosion for a Cleveland team that couldn’t manage to put a run across-the-board in the opening game of this series on Monday night. Now they will look to replicate their performance from Tuesday night and pick up a second consecutive victory over the Detroit Tigers in this one. It was a nailbiter that went into extra innings on Tuesday evening, as both teams traded their best punches back-and-forth throughout the contest. Now, Cleveland will limit Detroit’s damage at the plate throughout this game on Wednesday, as they look at least share of this series with an additional seven games against the Detroit Tigers coming up throughout the month of July.
This is a month that will have a major impact on the standings in the American League Central division, with these two teams facing off 10 times and Cleveland will look to get out on the front foot with a second victory here in this one. Tanner Bibee gets the start for Cleveland here on Wednesday night and he will look to further improve his American League Cy Young case with his eighth victory of the regular season and another impressive performance against a divisional rival. This is a Cleveland team that has been taking advantage of bad starting pitching all season long and that is something they will look to do once again here in game three of this four game series.

After a back-and-forth game on Tuesday night, Detroit will look to bounce back and get back into the wind column with a solid performance here on Wednesday against Cleveland. They hope to recapture their performance that led them to a one to nothing victory in the opening game of the series on Monday as they at least secure a split of four game series here on Wednesday. They will need to find a way to solve Tanner Bibee, who is having an incredible season for Cleveland in a year where they desperately need starting pitching thanks to several injuries to the rotation.
Detroit is now 15 games back of Cleveland for first place in the American League Central division and they will look to begin their climb out of fourth place with a solid performance here on Wednesday night at home. Olsen gets to start for Detroit in this game and he is having a rough start to the year so he will need to get things turned around throughout the second half of the season coming out of the All-Star break. He comes into this game with eight losses and only three victories on his record and he will look to pick up his fourth win of the year against one of the best lineups in baseball at the moment. It will certainly be no easy task and he will have to precisely put his over the plate and hitters to chase the ball if he wants to lead Detroit to a victory over Cleveland here in this one on Wednesday evening evening.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:
- 33-18 against sub .500 teams
- Detroit is 19-30 against plus .500 teams
- Cleveland is 3-2 against Detroit this season
I expect this to be a similar matchup as we’ve seen throughout the first two games of this series, However, I look for this one to be lower scoring much like the opening game of the series on Monday was compared to Tuesdays offense of outburst. In the end, I look for Cleveland to pick up their second consecutive victory over Detroit and clinch, at least a share of this series heading into Thursday’s finale.
