Tanner Bibee's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Tanner Bibee hopes to keep Cleveland's season alive as they face the Yankees in a potential elimination game on Saturday evening. Bibee got the starting nod in Game 2 of the ALCS but lasted only 1 1/3 innings after allowing five hits and three runs (two earned) with only two strikeouts. During the ALDS, Bibee made two starts and logged eight 2/3 innings, only allowing two runs while striking out nine. During the regular season, the right-hander posted a solid 3.47 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP after 173 2/3 innings of work. The 25-year-old remains a solid pick in DFS formats but faces a tough Yankee lineup that has hit right-handed pitching at a strong .803 OPS this summer.

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee will start Game 5 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday at Progressive Field against the New York Yankees as the Guardians look to keep their season alive and force a Game 6 back at Yankee Stadium. Bibee only made it through 1 1/3 innings in the Game 2 loss to the Yankees, allowing two earned runs on five hits while waking one and striking out two on Tuesday. He was much better in his two starts in the AL Division Series against the Detroit Tigers, giving up two earned runs, walking three and striking out nine in 8 2/3 frames. The 25-year-old will be going on short rest on Saturday after not even completing two full innings earlier this week. It will be a tall task against a hot Yankees offense, and limiting the long ball will be key if Bibee wants to go deeper into this start.

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Tanner Bibee will get the nod for Game 2 of the ALCS against the New York Yankees on Tuesday. Bibee will battle Yankees ace Gerrit Cole in what could be a pitching showdown. The 25-year-old started two games in the ALDS, combining for 8 IP and just two runs allowed. The Guardians haven't been willing to let him loose yet, but if he is pitching well they could let him go a little more in this one. Starting Game 2 will also set Bibee up to start in Game 6 on Sunday as well, if necessary.

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee will make the start in Game 4 of the American League Division Series on Thursday at Comerica Park against the division-rival Detroit Tigers. In his first career playoff start in the Game 1 win over the Tigers on Saturday at Progressive Field, Bibee went 4 2/3 scoreless innings on four hits while walking one and fanning six. He has plenty of experience facing this Tigers squad, as he toed the rubber against them four times during the regular season in 2024, going 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 19 strikeouts and only four walks. The 25-year-old will be a popular DFS play on Thursday with only two games on the slate for the Division Series with the National League having an off day. Bibee went 12-8 in his second big-league season this year with a 3.47 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and a 187:44 K:BB in 173 2/3 frames over 31 starts.

Bibee didn't face Houston at all in 2024 but made four starts against Detroit, recording a 4.50 ERA with 19 strikeouts and four walks in 22 innings pitched.
