Indians vs. Tigers Game 4 prediction: odds, expert picks, starting pitchers, betting trends and stats

Whatever happened to the Cleveland Guardians offense? After scoring seven points in Game 1 of their ALDS series against the Detroit Tigers, Cleveland has failed to score even a single point in Games 2 and 3. As a result, they will be eliminated when they head to Comerica Park on Thursday against the Tigers.

On Wednesday afternoon, six Tigers pitchers completely shut down the Guardians’ attack, limiting them to six hits. Detroit only managed five hits, but scored some runs in the 1^st3^rdand 6^e innings and that was enough to give the Tigers one win in the American League Championship series.

Cleveland’s ace, Tanner Bibee, will take the mound in Game 4, while the Tigers have yet to announce their starter for the potential game-changer.
