When was the last time the Guardians played against the Tigers? 2024 season series record

The MLB postseason Division Series schedules have been set for both the American League and the National League. The Division Series will run from October 5-12; the Championship Series will run from October 13-22. While the World Series will run from October 25-November 2, if it is extended to seven games.

NY Yankees, Cleveland Guardians, Detroit Tigers, KC Royals, Phillies, LA Dodgers, Padres and the NY Mets are the 8 teams that remain in the playoff fight in the Division Series in the MLB.

One of the most intriguing matchups is the Midwest battle between Cleveland and Detroit with neither team forming part of the firm favourites to win the championship with the Yankees and Dodgers the solid bets for the tipsters.

Neither team has tasted recent MLB World Series glory for a considerable time with the Tigers last triumph coming back in 1984 and the Guardians (then known as the Cleveland Indians) not winning the championship since 1948.

2024 meetings

Despite their relative close proximity, there is no clear intense baseball rivalry between Detroit and Cleveland and when it comes to current form, it would appear that Cleveland have a slight edge on the side from Motor City having topped the American League Central table and holding a better 2024 head-to-head over the Tigers.

In their 13 regular season meeting meetings, Cleveland won seven and Detroit collected six wins. The past two games (in Detroit) at the end of July (29 and 30th) both ended in wins for Stephen Vogt’s men.

The winner of this best of five series will advance to face the winners of NY Yankees-Kansas City in the American League final.
