The Cleveland Guardians (-228) host the Detroit Tigers at Progressive Field in a crucial AL Central matchup. The runline is set at 1.5 with a total of 8 runs.

The Tigers have split the first two games of the series, dropping the opener 4-1 before winning 7-5 in Game 2. Detroit looks to build on their offensive momentum after breaking out of a scoring slump where they failed to exceed 4 runs in four straight games.

Garrett Hill (2-3, 4.66 ERA) takes the mound for Detroit against Cleveland's Zach Plesac (2-10, 4.32 ERA).

Key Factors:

• Starting pitching will be crucial with both teams sending struggling arms to the mound
• Cleveland needs to manage pressure as division leaders facing a team they're expected to beat
• Tigers aim to play spoiler against the AL Central-leading Guardians

The Guardians look to maintain their division lead but will need a solid outing from Plesac, who has struggled throughout the season despite a respectable ERA. Cleveland's ability to execute under pressure could determine the outcome of this important divisional matchup.
