Kyle Murray's Tigers vs Guardians Preview, Picks
This is a perfect spot for the Tigers, as they have been one of the best offenses in baseball against left-handed pitchers and will see a struggling southpaw today in Logan Allen, who has posted a 4.9 xFIP on the year.
Casey Mize will start for Detroit, and he has looked sharp over his last couple of starts.
This is a great matchup for him, as the Guardians project to roll out a lineup of eight or nine left-handed hitters.
So far this season, Mize has been elite against lefties while having some struggles against righties.
This year, lefties have just a .097 ISO and .255 wOBA against Mize.
Pick: Tigers F5 -0.5 (+100)
