The Guardians are coming into this game with a 56-33 record this season and they have been playing well in their recent games. They lost their last game against the Tigers on Monday in a very close 1-0 loss, but they will be hungry to bounce back here as they have won 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games. Their offense has been good in those games as well, scoring at least 5 runs in 2 of their last 3 games. They are going up against a Tigers team that is 43-48 this season and they have also been playing well in their recent games. They have won their last 4 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 games, but they have also been winning these games with great pitching which is not something they are going to have here. They have scored at least 5 runs in 3 of their last 4 games, but they have also allowed just 1 run in their last 2 games, and this is a game that the Guardians are going to score runs in after getting shut out on Monday. Kenta Maeda is starting for the Tigers in this game and he is 2-5 with a 6.71 ERA this season. He has been awful in his recent starts as he has allowed at least 2 earned runs in each of his last 4 starts, allowing at least 3 earned runs in 3 of those, and he is coming off of a start which he allowed 9 earned runs in. He also faced the Guardians back in May and he allowed 7 earned runs in that start, only making it 2 innings as well. Ben Lively is starting for the Guardians in this game and he is 8-4 with a 3.14 ERA this season. He is coming off of a start which he allowed 3 earned runs in, but prior to that he only allowed 2 earned runs or less in 6 of his last 7 starts. He has been very consistent with not allowing many runs all season and he has been pitching deep into his starts as well. The Guardians have been pitching well recently as they only lost 1-0 to the Tigers on Monday, and this is a good spot for them to bounce back with Lively starting. The Guardians will win this game.
