The Detroit Tigers<\/a> looked flat upon returning home on Thursday night, when Cleveland Guardians<\/a> starter Tanner Bibee tamed them to a 7-0 final score<\/a> at Comerica Park. <\/p>\n

The four-game clash between two American League Central rivals continues on Friday with AJ Hinch\u2019s squad still holding a solid lead in the division. Currently, the Guardians, Kansas City Royals<\/a> and Minnesota Twins<\/a> are tied for second and all sit five games behind the Motor City Kitties. <\/p>\n

Overall, the Olde English D still has the best record in Major League Baseball, but only by half a game over the Philadelphia Phillies<\/a>. Detroit also has the third-best run differential in the sport (+78), lagging behind only the New York Yankees<\/a> (+95) and Chicago Cubs<\/a> (+83), respectively. <\/p>\n

The Tigers will send rookie Jackson Jobe to the mound to officially open up the weekend while the Guards have third-year hurler Slade Cecconi climbing the hill for them. Here is a quick look at how they match up. <\/p>\n
