Why does the model favor DET?

Detroit averages 5.7 runs per game over last 7, outscoring opponents by 1.6 per game while Cleveland manages just 3.3 runs per game. Both teams absorb ~20-point injury swings, but Cleveland loses Gabriel Arias (SS, 5.0pt), Emmanuel Clase (RP, 5.0pt), and Erik Sabrowski (RP, 5.0pt) simultaneously. Cleveland Guardians is 38-33 (0.535).

What could go wrong with the DET pick?

Gabriel Arias' absence (5.0pt impact) weakens Cleveland's infield, but Detroit's 11-25 road record and Justin Verlander's injury (5.0pt) create structural disadvantage that moneyline pricing may not fully reflect.

Is the Cleveland Guardians vs Detroit Tigers prediction a guarantee?
