#942 Cleveland Guardians (Williams) 1st Five +0.5 EVEN over Detroit Tigers (Skubal) 12:08 PM CT
Tarik Skubal had another great season and will likely win consecutive Cy Young awards. He has faced Cleveland in each of his last two starts and the Guardians posted 11 hits and four runs against him. The Guardians went 20-7 in September for a historic run while averaging 4.6 runs per game and consistently finding ways to manufacture runs. Detroit caved to late season pressure to go 7-17 in September, barely holding on to a playoff spot. Cleveland has won 8 of 13 meetings this season with Detroit with a 46-34 edge in scoring. Over his last five starts Gavin Williams has allowed just six runs in 31 innings while going 4-0 in decisions, allowing just seven hits and two runs vs. Detroit. With Skubal’s credentials the first five price appears a bit boosted and Cleveland finding a way to put a run across or at least keeping the early innings level seems very possible in Tuesday’s early game in the AL wild card round.
