Guardians Look to Avoid Tigers Sweep in July 7 Series Finale
The Cleveland Guardians (40-39) face the Detroit Tigers (33-47) in the finale of their four-game series at Comerica Park. First pitch is scheduled for 1:10 pm ET on Wednesday.
The Tigers dominated Tuesday's game with an 11-4 victory, getting strong performances from Drew Hutchison (5 IP, 1 ER) and their offense. Victor Reyes, Riley Greene, Miguel Cabrera, and Eric Haase combined for 10 hits, 9 RBIs, and 7 runs scored.
Betting Odds:
- Guardians: -179 (ML), -1.5 runs
- Tigers: +155 (ML), +1.5 (-122)
- Over/Under: 7.5 runs
Pitching Matchup:
- Guardians: Shane Bieber (3-4, 3.16 ERA, 93 K in 91 IP)
- Tigers: Michael Pineda (1-3, 3.62 ERA, 15 K in 27.1 IP)
Key Stats:
- Guardians have lost 5 of their last 6 games
- Jose Ramirez batting .192 in last 7 games
- Jonathan Schoop hitting .292 lifetime vs Bieber
- Riley Greene batting .274 with 8 RBI as rookie
The Guardians look to avoid the sweep and stay above .500, sending ace Shane Bieber to stop their skid. While Cleveland has the pitching advantage, they'll need their struggling offense to support Bieber against a Tigers team that's found its rhythm.
