This is a play on the CLEVELAND GUARDIANS for our MLB Friday Sweet Spot. Cleveland has dropped three straight games including a two-game sweep against the lowly Reds with a rainout in-between and the schedule remains easy so the Gaurdians need to turn things around this weekend. They are three-games under. 500 and they trail the Twins by 4.5 games in the American League Central. Their pitching has been average but the offense remains strong, recent run notwithstanding, as they are ranked No. 7 in runs scored per nine innings and No. 10 in batting average.  Cleveland is 11-3 against the money line against teams whose hitters draw three walks or fewer per game this season. Detroit was off on Thursday following a pair of losses at Tampa Bay where the Tigers managed only one run in each game. They are in last place in the division at 13-25 which is the worst record in the American League. Detroit is 5-12 on the road where the offense has been awful, especially against right-handed pitching as it is hitting just .193 while averaging a mere 1.95 runs per nine innings. This number is low due to Aaron Civale being on the hill for Cleveland and his 9.85 ERA but he has struggled against top offenses including the Twins, Blue Jays and Yankees. Detroit is 3-16 against the money line after scoring two runs or less this season. Here, we play against American League road teams when the money line is +125 to -125 averaging 4.4 or fewer rpg on the season, after scoring two runs or less in two straight games. This situation is 43-13 (76.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (920) Cleveland Guardians
