Cleveland Guardians Probable Pitcher and Starting Lineup vs Detroit Tigers ALDS Game 3 October 9

Who is the Cleveland Guardians probable starting pitcher?

With the series tied at one game apiece, the Cleveland Guardians will have veteran Alex Cobb take the mound in Game 3 for his first playoff appearance in over a decade. Cleveland is looking to rebound from the gut punch that was Monday's Game 2 loss to the Tigers, and they are hoping that Cobb can pitch well enough to put them in position to take a series lead and force an elimination game on Thursday.

Having Cobb start this game is a bit of a risk for the Guardians. Cobb has not pitched in an actual game in over a month and only has made three starts this season, with an extended break between starts 2 and 3 due to a fractured fingernail. The latest break in action resulted from a blister, making it difficult for him to pitch effectively.

It is going to be absolutely crucial for manager Stephen Vogt to monitor Cobb very closely to make sure that he is hitting hit spots and pitching in a manner that results in Cleveland being able to win.

Who will the Cleveland Guardians lineup face?

Keider Montero draws the start for the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. Montero has already pitched once in this series, allowing just one hit and striking out three in 2 innings during Saturday's 7-0 Guardians win. Cleveland faced Montero back in early July, registering only three hits while failing to score during his 6.1 innings on the mound. The Guardians will be hoping for a more productive day against Montero this time around which could result in taking a crucial 2-1 series lead over Detroit.
