This qualifies as an epic collapse for the Tigers, who have not only lost their lead in the AL Central to a rampant Cleveland with this debilitating 8-game skid but could also miss the playoffs entirely. AJ Hinch is looking for answers in his rotation after Tarik Skubal and Jack Flaherty couldn't produce results in this series at Cleveland, and mulls perhaps making this a bullpen game tonight. Whatever, it will be hard to trust an offense that has scored two or fewer runs in six of the past seven games. Meanwhile, rookie Parker Messick has been a revelation on the mound for the Guardians, with a 3-0 record and 2.08 ERA in his six previous starts. Play Guardians on the Run Line.

This is basically a vibes pick. The Guardians have all the swagger here and they're at home. The Tigers are pathetic right now and have been one of the worst teams since early July. Plus, Guardians rookie Parker Messick has a 2.08 ERA thus far in his career as yet another product of the Cleveland pitching development machine.
