Cleveland Guardians vs Detroit Tigers Game 4 Betting Preview

The Detroit Tigers are set to host the Cleveland Guardians in a crucial American League Division Series matchup on October 10, 2024, at Comerica Park. As the fourth game in this series, every pitch counts, with the Guardians holding a slight advantage with a 52% implied win probability, according to oddsmakers. The Tigers, meanwhile, are given a 48% chance of victory, suggesting a tightly contested battle is on the horizon as the Tigers look to close this series out at home.

The Tigers, who have struggled offensively, rank 25th in MLB in overall offense, with only marginally better numbers in batting average (24th) and home runs (24th). Their lack of power is concerning, especially against a Guardians team that ranks 12th in home runs and boasts a strong 6th place ranking in stolen bases, highlighting their balanced offensive approach.

On the mound, Detroit has yet to decide on a starting pitcher as they look to stifle Cleveland's lineup. Whoever does start, their challenge will be stiff, given the Guardians' ability to hit the long ball. On the flip side, Cleveland is banking on Tanner Bibee to try and halt the momentum of the Tigers, who have won the last two games of this series.

While neither team's implied run totals—Tigers at 3.17 and Guardians at 3.33—suggest a high-scoring affair, factors such as Detroit's surprisingly strong 9th-ranked bullpen could help them punch above their weight. This contrasts with their overall offensive struggles, making bullpen management a potential X-factor in this contest.

For bettors, the close odds and low Game Total of 6.5 runs indicate a game that could swing either way. Both teams will need to capitalize on any mistakes, as this pivotal series game could have significant implications in their postseason aspirations.
