Cash Out Sports Picks recommended playing the full-game under in the Tigers-Guardians finale. He framed it as a classic pitchers duel: Tarik Skubal owns a sub-2.00 ERA on the road and in day games, while Gavin Williams has quietly posted a 2.30 daytime ERA and a 2.53 career ERA in four starts against Detroit. Guardians hitters have managed just a .193 lifetime average off Williams and have dropped nine straight overall, averaging 2.8 runs during that slide. Skubal has limited opponents to two or fewer runs in 11 of his last 12 outings, and both bullpens profile as solid—Detroit sits top-10 on the season and Cleveland’s relief corps carries a 3.21 ERA over the last week. With the total still listed at 8.5, the tout projected a 4-2 type game and advised taking the under.

Cash Out Sports Picks advised taking the Tigers behind ace Tarik Skubal. Detroit has won 11 of Skubal’s last 12 starts and five straight by two or more runs. The Guardians have dropped nine straight overall, five by multiple runs, and their lineup has been anemic. Detroit’s offense, on the other hand, ranks near the top of MLB in most categories over the past week. Given the Tigers’ edge on the mound, at the plate, and in recent momentum, the tout wants no part of fading them and recommends Detroit on the money line (or run line for plus money).

Drew Martin advised playing Detroit, preferably Tigers ‑1.5 on the road, thanks to Tarik Skubal’s Cy Young-caliber roll. The lefty is 10-2 with a 2.10 ERA and has won five straight starts; his latest outing was seven shutout innings with a 13:1 K:BB. Cleveland’s Gavin Williams has issued 49 walks in 86 IP and has more walks (7) than strikeouts (4) over his last two starts, totaling 15 free passes in his past four. Martin notes both bullpen and lineup metrics lean Detroit, so he is comfortable laying the run and a half despite the likely juice.

Brad Pick Dawgz played Gavin Williams over 15.5 pitching outs. He noted the Cleveland rookie has cleared that number in five of his past six outings and that this Guardians-Tigers set has been extremely low scoring. With both offenses struggling, Brad expects another economical start that lets Williams log at least six full innings.

Brad Pick Dawgz recommended paying up for the Tigers –1.5, citing a "massive, significant pitching advantage" with Tarik Skubal opposite Gavin Williams. Brad went so far as to say he "would not be surprised if the Guardians scored zero runs" given Skubal’s current form and Cleveland’s light-hitting lineup. Williams, while serviceable, simply can’t match Skubal’s swing-and-miss stuff, and Brad expects Detroit’s offense to open a multi-run cushion.

Lonte Smith said he is betting both the Tigers money-line and the full-game Under because Casey Mize gives Detroit a massive edge over Logan Allen and a punch-less Guardians lineup. Since returning from the IL, Mize has allowed three runs or fewer in every start and has held opponents to two or less in three straight on the road. Smith pointed out that Cleveland has scored three runs or fewer in five of its last eight and is now dealing with a clearly compromised Jose Ramirez, who is hitless in his last 18 at-bats while playing through multiple nagging injuries. With the wind blowing out to right, Allen’s platoon advantage against Detroit’s right-hand heavy order diminishes, and Smith believes the Tigers can win even if they only plate three runs. He will fire on Detroit up to –150 and play the Under at 9 or better.

Matt Perrault backed Detroit at –132 on the road in Cleveland, pointing to the Tigers’ league-best .272 average and 129 RBIs versus left-handed pitching. They face southpaw Logan Allen, whose Progressive Field line shows a 4.31 ERA, .266 opponent average and 19 earned runs in 39⅔ home innings, with losses in his last two starts (6 IP/3 ER vs STL, 5⅔ IP/3 ER vs TOR). Detroit counters with Casey Mize (8-2, 2.86 ERA overall) who has been steady away from Comerica – 3.50 road ERA and just 5 total earned runs over his last three road appearances (Tampa, Baltimore, Chicago). Perrault expects Detroit to scratch out four or more runs off Allen, which he believes will be enough behind Mize’s recent form and a rested bullpen, making the Tigers a worthwhile moneyline play.

Calling it his client best bet, Drew Martin recommended Detroit –135 behind Casey Mize. The Tigers own the AL’s best record (54-34) and are 20 games over .500. Mize, the former No. 1 overall pick, sports a 2.80 ERA, is 8-2, and has not allowed more than two earned in any of his last five starts. He recently held Cleveland to one run over five innings with six strikeouts. On the other side, Logan Allen lasted only three frames and yielded five earned to Detroit in that series; he sits at a 4.20 ERA and has dropped his last two outings. Martin has been fading Allen all season and sees no reason to jump off with the Tigers’ lineup and bullpen both in better form. He believes the –135 price is short given the pitching disparity and Detroit’s overall consistency.
