Overview

  • The Tigers visit Progressive Field from Sept. 23–25 holding a one-game lead, with many scenarios indicating this series is likely to determine the division winner.
  • Cleveland has won 15 of its last 17 games, including a 10-game streak, while Detroit has dropped nine of 10 after leading the division by as much as 15.5 games.
  • Probable matchups include Tarik Skubal vs. Gavin Williams on Tuesday and Jack Flaherty vs. Tanner Bibee on Wednesday, with Parker Messick listed for Cleveland on Thursday and Detroit TBD.
  • The Guardians lead the season series 6–4, meaning one win this week would clinch the head-to-head tiebreaker if the teams finish with identical records.
  • Tickets remain available on major sites, with reported get-in prices roughly in the low $20s to low $30s, as team leaders urge fans to pack Progressive Field.
