We are backing Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal in this matchup. Since making his season debut back in July, Skubal currently holds a 2.09 FIP in 32.1 innings. The sample size is limited, but this would be the best FIP rating among all MLB starting pitchers this season. This metric measures a pitcher's ability to prevent home runs and walks, and to generate strikeouts. Skubal is also a lefty, and the Guardians are the worst team in the MLB at hitting left handed pitching. On the other side of this pitching matchup for the Guardians is Xzavion Curry. Cleveland has lost the last 4 games that Curry has started. Curry has a solid ERA, but his FIP rating sits at 4.31. Our wager is on the Tigers first 5 innings moneyline. The Guardians have the better bullpen, so we are eliminating those later innings out of our wager. Be sure to place your wager in the 2-way market, which does not include a tie. If this game is tied through 5 innings, the ticket will void rather than lose.
