Cleveland Guardians Analysis
The Cleveland Guardians are currently leading the AL Central Division with a record of 23-12. They recently won two out of three games against the Los Angeles Angels, with Jose Ramirez hitting a game-winning solo home run in the sixth inning. The team will be starting Logan Allen, who has a record of 3-2 with one quality start this season. Despite key injuries to Nic Enright, Steven Kwan, and Angel Martinez, the Guardians continue to excel offensively, ranking 7th in the league. Detroit has struggled against Cleveland in their recent matchups.
Guardians Expected to Capitalize on Tigers' Struggles in Pitching Matchup against Maeda
Allen delivered a strong performance against the Tigers last season, yielding only four hits over six innings. This season, the Tigers have struggled against left-handed pitchers, hitting just .238, and are currently on a three-game losing streak. On the other hand, Maeda has faced challenges this season in finishing off hitters, a stark contrast to his impressive 117 strikeouts in 104.1 innings last season. The Guardians have excelled in patience at the plate and hitting for contact, boasting a team batting average over .240 with 35 home runs. With Maeda's susceptibility to giving up home runs, it is likely the Guardians will take advantage and hit at least one long ball on Tuesday night. In comparison, the Tigers have a team batting average of just .224 overall. It is advisable to bet on the Guardians to win the game.
