Tuesday, the Guardians will aim to take game two over the Detroit Tigers after yesterday 2-1 victory. On the mound, Logan Allen will see a divisional opponent for just the second time this season. Look for Allen to minimize the Tigers lineup from a big inning of scoring, and for the Guardians to secure their fourth straight win. Take the Guardians.
Kenta Maeda has allowed just one earned run in his past two starts and still has a 6.06 FIP. His biggest issue is that his fastball and change-up are only separated by 7 MPH. The Tigers rank 23rd in OPS vs. Lefties. Logan Allen has a solid 44.3% ground ball rate and should have success against this Tigers’ lineup.
This is a solid matchup for Logan Allen who has pitched better than his raw numbers might suggest. Allen will face a Detroit lineup that doesn't walk a lot, has a .645 OPS against opposing southpaws, and have been struggling to score runs lately. Meanwhile Allen has gone at least 5.1 IP in four of his previous six starts.
