The Cleveland Guardians and Detroit Tigers will meet in the American League Division series on Saturday. Let’s take a look at the players and matchups that will decide the fate of these American League Central Division rivals.
The Detroit Tigers went 86-76 with +40 run differential. However, the Tigers’ season was definitely a tale of two halves, as on July 31st, after selling off their second-best starter, Jack Flaherty, they were only 52-57. They proceeded to go 34-19 and race past the Minnesota Twins for a wildcard spot and then slayed the American League giant Houston Astros in two games in the Wildcard series.
