Indians at Tigers Prediction 5/15/18
Sure Cleveland starter Josh Tomlin pitched well earlier this season at home against Detroit’s pitching five scoreless innings, but the majority of his starts in 2018 have been disastrous. He brings only moderate numbers against the projected lineup with the Tigers’ batters hitting .260 over 96 at bats. Francisco Liriano gets the ball for Detroit and his been ultra-consistent over seven starts allowing three or fewer runs per outing but not always reaching the minimum of six innings to get the quality start. He was sharp in his outing back in early April against the Indians getting the QS throwing six innings allowing just two runs. Tomlin has better historical numbers especially in the W/L versus opponent metric, but the value tonight is with the Detroit.
