Detroit Tigers vs Cleveland Guardians Game 2 Predictions 8/15/2022

Cleveland’s six-game winning streak was broken despite another excellently pitched game, as their offense failed them down.

The Guardians seek to build on their 1.5-game advantage over the Twins in the AL Central race as of Sunday. On Saturday, Cleveland had six hits overall, with Andres Gimenez (RBI) having two of them.

With runners in scoring position, the Guardians had a miserable one for ten record, with Oscar Gonzalez going 0 for 4 in those circumstances.

In his most recent start, which took place on July 23 in the second game of a doubleheader against the White Sox, Pilkington was not taken into consideration. He pitched five innings in a game the Guardians eventually lost 5-4, surrendering two runs on 4 hits, 3 walks, and 3 strikeouts.

Detroit Tigers vs Cleveland Guardians. The MLB pick for this game is the Cleveland Guardians. This one will be interesting since we have two players who spent this season moving back and forth from the lower leagues.

Garcia struggled with control in his brief time in the major leagues this season, as shown by the fact that he issued six walks in his most recent start of four innings. He’s frequently faced Cleveland, so the Guardians may be familiar with what he brings to the table.

The Tigers’ biggest problem—which can come back to bite them in this situation—is their inability to produce offense.

Expect the Guardians to have another strong outing on the mound and have sufficient offensive performance to win the second game of the doubleheader. The Cleveland Guardians will win to a predicted score of 6-4.
