Cleveland Indians vs Detroit Tigers 8/13/2021 Picks Predictions Previews

The Cleveland Indians will play the first game of their series against the Detroit Tigers in Comerica Park, Detroit, on Friday, August 13, 2021, at 7:10 PM (EDT). Cleveland dropped below .500 after losing back-to-back matches to Oakland, slipping to 55-58 as the White Sox maintained their dominance in the AL Central. Cleveland has one of the weakest offenses in baseball this year, ranking 26th in team batting average at .232 and 19th in offensive efficiency at 4.31 runs per game before this series.

Right-hander Zach Plesac will be the starting pitcher, and he had a great season, coming 6-4 with a 4.84 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 89.1 innings. Plesac is only 26 years old, but he has lots of major league exposure and is having his poorest year yet; his overall ERA is 3.84, his strikeout counts are decreased, and his walks are higher this year.

Cleveland Indians are 3-7 SU in their previous 10 matches.
Cleveland Indians are 10-4 SU in their last 14 matches against Detroit.
Cleveland Indians are 1-4 SU in their last 5 matches on the road.

Cleveland Indians vs Detroit Tigers Predictions 8/13/2021

Detroit demonstrated a lot of heart despite having a terrible roster; they gained three of their last five matches and are 11.5 matches behind in the AL Central. The Tigers’ offense outperformed expectations, ranking 13th in team batting average at .242 and 17th in offensive efficiency at 4.41 runs per game heading into the matchup.

Tyler Alexander will take the mound in this match; he hopped around the bullpen and the backend of the lineup, but he appears to have settled down as the fifth pitcher. Alexander is 2-1 with an ERA of 4.35 in 60 innings this year and is returning from one of his best appearances of the season, going 5 1/3 shutout innings while allowing only four hits and striking out four batters in a 2-1 victory over the Indians.

The total went UNDER in 11 of Detroit’s last 13 matches.
The Detroit Tigers are 4-16 SU in their last 20 matches at home against Cleveland.
The total went UNDER in 7 of Detroit’s last 7 matches at home.

Cleveland Indians vs Detroit Tigers. The MLB pick for this game is the Detroit Tigers. As the White Sox continue to dominate the division, both of these squads are likely out of contention for the playoffs. In the long term, the Tigers are in a much stronger position, and they could conceivably field a superior squad than the Indians currently. Two rookie pitchers will take the mound, but I’m betting on Tyler Alexander, who is returning from a good start, and the Tigers’ offense to generate sufficient run assistance to prevail. The Detroit Tigers will win to a predicted score of 5-4.
