The Detroit Tigers (43-73) and Cleveland Guardians (61-53) are scheduled to tangle with a traditional doubleheader Monday at Progressive Field. Game 1 is slated to start at 3:10 p.m. ET . Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Tigers vs. Guardians odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: Cleveland leads 8-7
The Tigers defeated Cleveland in 4 straight games (July 4-7) as part of a 6-game win streak. But Detroit’s offense has been atrocious since that midsummer surge, and the Tigers have gone just 7-26 in their last 33 games. Over that span, Detroit owns a paltry .571 OPS.
The Guardians are back at home after a 5-1 road trip, a trip that opened with 3 straight wins at Detroit. Cleveland is 7-1 in its last 8 games and it has yielded just 3.50 runs per game over that stretch.
