MatchPlug Prediction
Shane Bieber powered through his first 7 starts for Cleveland, but a lack of run assistance has been a problem. Despite his efforts, the team won just two of the 7 matches he started this season, and one of those victories came by just a run.
Lorenzen on the other hand, has been hit and miss with two bad starts and two great starts, but moving against a light-batting Cleveland, MLB Expert Picks say Detroit should keep this match close, if not win the whole thing.
