The Tigers are entering tonight’s divisional matchup with an 18-16 record, putting them only four games behind the Guardians for first place in the American League Central. The Tigers have also lost three games in a row, as they were swept by the New York Yankees. They are looking to regain some momentum with a win over the division leaders tonight.

It has been nearly a decade since the Tigers have reached the postseason, and they have not finished the regular season with a winning record since 2016. So, the Tigers have looked much better than usual to start this season. Despite their improved performance, they are still currently in fourth place of the division. This series is imperative for the Tigers, as they attempt to stay in the divisional race.

Unlike their opponent, the Guardians have had numerous playoff appearances in recent history. Most recently, they reached the 2022 postseason and won their Wild Card Series against the Tampa Ray Rays. After finishing with a 76-86 record last season, the Guardians have greatly improved and lead the division with a 22-12 record entering tonight’s game. They possess one of the best records in the American League and just won back-to-back games against the Los Angeles Angels. So, they are looking to keep their win streak alive and extend their divisional lead with a series win over the Tigers this week.
