Detroit hadn't scored in 17 innings and then the whole complexion of the series changed with Kerry Carpenter's three-run shot to right field in the top of the ninth in Game 2 to give the Tigers a 3-0 win. The Tigers now go back home with the confidence and momentum needed to come out on top in the ALDS. Keider Montero is back on the roster and appears to be the starter in Game 3. Montero went 2-0 with a 3.77 ERA in September and he faced Cleveland once this year and allowed no runs on three hits in 6 1/3 innings. Alex Cobb is making just his fourth start of the year and first since Sept. 1. He hasn't pitched in a postseason game since the 2013 ALDS for Tampa Bay. The Guardians have lost seven of their past eight playoff road games and they are 4-0-1 UNDER their past five games overall following an off day. Four of the past five meetings have been shutouts and Cleveland 8-1-1 UNDER its past 10 games. Take the Tigers and the UNDER.
