Where to park?

Parking is available for purchase ahead of time in several lots around Downtown Detroit, or you can street park and use the ParkDetroit App.

There are also plenty of bars around the area that are offering shuttles to and from the game. You can also take advantage of the QLINE park-and-ride where you can pay $5 to park in Midtown and ride the QLINE for free.

A reminder: the Detroit People Mover is not running due to track maintenance.

Probable pitchers

Tigers fans have made jokes about manager AJ Hinch saying pitching will be "TBD" for the playoffs, and that's the case for Wednesday's game. Prepare for more "pitching chaos", as Hinch coined it just before the Astros series.

As for Cleveland, it's expected that Alex Cobb will get the start for the Guardians.

This season, Cobb has a 2-1 record with a 2.76 ERA in three games.
