Detroit is six games under .500 in the second half of the season, barely holding onto the division lead at this point. The Guardians are one game back for the division and send out Gavin Williams who has been pitching very well, three earned runs, or less, in each of his last six starts. Cleveland got the victory in their last game against Tarik Skubal, who still may be dealing with tightness to his left side, but the value lies with the Guardians as Detroit is in danger of missing the playoffs, hitting .233 in September.
