Detroit was able to sweep the Houston Astros in the Wild Card round earlier this week, which was a massive upset. In their final game against Houston, the Tigers trailed 2-1 after the seventh inning. However, Detroit scored four runs in the eighth inning to overcome the deficit.

With their two postseason victories, the Tigers have won eight of their last 10 games. Riley Greene led the team’s offense throughout the year, as he ended the regular season with 24 home runs and 74 RBI. The star player was 1-9 at the plate against Houston, so he will try to improve his performance this afternoon.

The Guardians ended the regular season with a 92-69 record, which helped them earn a bye in the opening round of the playoffs.

Jose Ramirez has led the Cleveland offense this year, as he hit 39 home runs and accrued 118 RBI. Notably, he also possesses a .279 batting average, so he will be a key player to watch this afternoon.
