Skubal was the best pitcher in the AL this season and held Cleveland to one run in his lone road start against them. Including the playoffs, Skubal has only allowed two total runs in his previous four starts. The Guardians are starting lefty Matthew Boyd. Detroit had a .229 batting average against left-handed pitchers this season. The Tigers, 19th in scoring during the regular season, are averaging 2.67 runs in the postseason after Saturday's shutout. Scoring will be tough for both sides all series long, including tonight's game.
