Cleveland's bullpen currently has a 5.93 ERA, the worst in MLB. The 5.93 ERA is the worst bullpen ERA by the Indians through 60 games of the season in the live ball era (since 1920). They could become the first team in the live ball era to have the worst bullpen ERA in MLB after finishing with the best bullpen ERA the season before (2.89 ERA in 2017).

The Tigers are 20-14 (.588) at home versus 10-20 (.333) on the road. That difference in winning percentage (.255) is the largest difference by an AL team this season.

The Indians currently lead the season series, 5-2. Their starters have posted a 1.84 ERA in the seven games against the Tigers this season. Meanwhile, the Tigers' starters have posted a 5.63 ERA against the Tribe.

José Ramírez has posted a 1.544 OPS in his last 25 games against the Tigers. The last player with a 1.500+ OPS in a 25-game span against Detroit was Babe Ruth from 1928-30 (1.697).

Nicholas Castellanos is batting .338 in night games this season. Only Jean Segura (.362) has a higher batting average in night games in the AL (among qualified hitters).

Michael Fulmer has posted a 7.31 ERA in six starts against Cleveland in his career, his highest ERA versus any single opponent. The Indians have batted .352 against Fulmer, their second-highest batting average versus a single pitcher among active pitchers in MLB (teammate Jordan Zimmermann, .389, minimum five starts).

It would surprise virtually everyone around baseball if the Cleveland Indians do not win the American League Central Division. The Detroit Tigers can put a little more pressure on the Indians with a big showing this weekend.
The Tigers trail the Indians by four games heading into their three-game series at Detroit's Comerica Park. The Tigers salvaged the finale of a three-game series in Boston on Thursday with a 7-2 victory.

Tigers try to apply pressure on Indians

DETROIT (AP)  The Detroit Tigers gave the Cleveland Indians an extra out in the ninth inning, and Jason Kipnis made them pay.
The Tigers failed to take advantage of a two-out baserunning mistake by Jose Ramirez, and Kipnis hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer two pitches later to lift the Indians over the Tigers 4-1.
