CLEVELAND (Interstat) — The American League Division Series shifts to Progressive Field on Thursday for a pivotal Game 3 between the Cleveland Guardians and Detroit Tigers with the best-of-five series tied 1-1.

First pitch is scheduled for the evening under cloudy skies with a game-time temperature of 72 degrees.

The Guardians evened the series with a 6-1 victory Wednesday powered by a strong start from Tanner Bibee (4.2 IP 1 ER 6 K) and a three-RBI performance from catcher Bo Naylor. The Tigers’ bullpen kept them in the game with Tyler Holton Casey Mize and Kyle Finnegan combining for 7 innings of one-run relief after an early exit by their starter.

The season series between these AL Central rivals has been tightly contested. Including the first two playoff games the teams have split their last 10 meetings with several games decided by one run or in extra innings.

Cleveland finished the regular season 89-75 one game ahead of Detroit’s 88-76 record setting the stage for this tense postseason showdown. Despite the Guardians holding home-field advantage Detroit has been installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of -1.5. The over/under is set at 7 runs.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 6-3 victory for the Guardians.

The winner of Thursday’s game will take a 2-1 series lead and move within one victory of advancing to the American League Championship Series.
