The Guardians host the gritty Tigers as AL Central rivals square off in Game 1 of the ALDS on Saturday afternoon.

Cleveland embarks on its postseason run after a 92-win regular season; the Guardians haven't advanced past the ALDS since 2016, when they won the American League pennant.

Bibee posted a 3.47 ERA in 31 starts, the anchor to the Guardians' hot-and-cold rotation.

WATCH: Game 1: Guardians vs.

Tigers live with Sling The Tigers roar into the ALDS after sweeping the Astros in the AL Wild Card round, penning another chapter to their improbable story.

Manager AJ Hinch will deploy his "pitching chaos" strategy in Game 1, opting for a blend of openers and bulk relievers, rather than designating a starting pitcher.

It's worked well for Detroit so far, with a cavalcade of relievers including Will Vest silencing the Astros.

But the Guardians also rely heavily on their bullpen, with lockdown closer Emmanuel Clase replenished and anchoring the back end.
