The Guardians are playing better ball right now, but I can’t get there with Bibee. While he hasn’t pitched as badly as his record indicates, the Guardians have lost 9 straight games he pitches. You have to go back to March 26 the last time the Guardians won a game under Bibbee. Also, the Tigers are far more talented than their record indicates and it’s only a matter of time before things turn around for them. I don’t care who takes the mound for Detroit. I’ll side with the Tigers on Wednesday.
