Cleveland Guardians vs Detroit Tigers Picks

Comerica Park

<p>Well, yesterday was a brutal 0-2 outing on the diamond, and today appears to be a good day for a bounce-back.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look to do just that with my MLB picks and predictions for Wednesday, May 20.</p>
<h2>MLB Picks &amp; Predictions for Wednesday, May 20</h2>
<h3>Tanner Bibee Over 4.5 Strikeouts (-130)</h3>
<p>The Cleveland Guardians are riding a four-game win streak and are aiming to make that five with right-hander Tanner Bibee grabbing the rubber.</p>
<p data-start="139" data-end="468">He&#8217;s coming off a seven-hit, three-run outing against the Reds, which wasn&#8217;t terrible by any means, but the concerning part was seeing him record only two strikeouts. That marked his lowest total of the season. In the start prior, he punched out nine batters against the Twins, so the drop-off was a bit peculiar.</p>
<p data-start="470" data-end="722">The good news is that he&#8217;ll now face a Tigers lineup that owns a 22.7% strikeout rate against right-handed pitching over the past month, which ranks 22nd in baseball. Since the start of May, that number has climbed to 24.8%, ranking 26th in that span.</p>

<p data-start="190" data-end="333">The Padres captured the first game in a narrow 1-0 victory, but it was the Dodgers who bounced back on Tuesday night in another slim win, 5-4.</p>
<p data-start="335" data-end="483">Tonight, <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Shohei Ohtani</span></span> gets the nod for the defending World Series champions, and to no one&#8217;s surprise, he&#8217;s been prolific.</p>
<p data-start="485" data-end="697">Through seven starts, Ohtani has a 0.82 ERA, 2.32 expected ERA and a 2.39 FIP. He&#8217;s also posting ridiculous numbers such as his .219 BABIP, 51% ground-ball rate, 91% left-on-base percentage and a sub-3.00 SIERA.</p>
<p data-start="699" data-end="812">San Diego has been struggling a bit against right-handed pitching this month, posting an 80 wRC+ and a .633 OPS.</p>
<p data-start="814" data-end="927">Meanwhile, the Dodgers are slowly starting to pick up form, hitting a 110 wRC+ with a .734 OPS during that span.</p>
<p data-start="929" data-end="1222">The righty they&#8217;ll face is <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Randy Vasquez</span></span>, who has also looked sharp with a 5-1 record and a 2.68 ERA. His expected ERA, however, sits at 4.80, while his xFIP resides at 3.88. Additionally, concerns hover around his high hard-hit rate of 44.4% and barrel rate of 11.3%.</p>
<p data-start="1224" data-end="1338" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">The Dodgers have advantages in most departments tonight, and let&#8217;s look for that to be reflected in the box score.</p>
