The current betting odds have the Guardians listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Tigers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 43-48 record overall which has them near the bottom of the AL Central and they are also 20-22 in their home games. Meanwhile, The Guardians have looked great in their games this season with their 56-33 record overall which has them leading the AL Central with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They have also looked good in their road games with their 26-22 road record. The Guardians lost the 1st game of this series against the Tigers, but they did win their series over the weekend and will be looking to bounce back here. They only lost in a 1-0 game on Monday and they have the better pitching matchup in this one. Bibee is on the mound in this one and he is 7-3 with a 3.67 ERA. He did give up 4 earned runs in his last start, but he hasn't been giving up a lot of runs in his starts and the team has been finding success with him too, winning 3 of the last 4 games he started in. The Tigers will have Olson on the mound here and he is 3-8 with a 3.22 ERA, but his team hasn't been finding a ton of success with him this year. He only gave up 1 earned run in his last start and he hasn't been giving up a ton of runs this season, but he hasn't been getting a ton of run support in his starts and that is a big reason why he has 8 losses. They have won 2 of their last 3 games with him starting, but the Tigers aren't going to have the offense to win this one with Bibee on the other side. The best way to place a bet here is on the Guardians to win this game.
