The Tigers are slight favorites to advance to the ALCS, largely due to Tarik Skubal's outstanding performance, despite their worse record and being on the road.
Skubal's dominance was pivotal in the postseason; the AL Cy Young favorite led the Tigers as their offense struggled. Without Skubal, their chances would diminish significantly.
Cleveland's offensive struggles arise from reliance on José Ramirez, similar to Bobby Witt Jr. with the Royals, showcasing limited support in the lineup.
Cleveland's dramatic home/road splits reflect their struggles away from home, with a 109 wRC+ at home but only 92 on the road, highlighting their vulnerabilities.
