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

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

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

Jose Ramirez led Cleveland’s offense this year, as he hit 39 home runs and racked up 118 RBIs. Notably, he also owns a .279 batting average, so he will be a key player to watch this afternoon.
