The Guardians return from a 7-1 road trip for an off-day before welcoming the Detroit Tigers for what is likely to be an AL Central Division Title-deciding series on Tuesday.
The team is begging fans to come and support them during this final run:
Stephen Vogt made an impassioned plea at the end of the game on Sunday, also:
Zack Meisel has some analysis of the playoff hunt for the Guardians for the Athletic here. Aside rooting for the Guardians, we are rooting for the Blue Jays, Athletics, and Angels. And, depending on how the Tigers-Guardians series goes, either the Tigers or Red Sox or some combination of the two for their final series. Hopefully, it will be a fun and exciting finish to the regular season.
The Tigers, Red Sox, Astros and Rangers all lost yesterday. The Rangers are all but out of it, which is a good thing for that final series, in theory. Even though the Guardians’ lost, it was still a pretty good day for them in terms of playoff odds.
