The Detroit Tigers were on the wrong side of a 2-1 pitcher's duel against the Yankees yesterday, and they'll look to get back on track tonight in Game 1 of a home series versus Cleveland. The Indians are struggling at the plate, and it won't get any easier here in Detroit.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - Shane Greene will be on the mound for the Tigers, and he hasn't been kind to opposing hitters this season. Greene (3-0, 0.39 ERA) surrendered just a single run on five hits over seven innings in a win over the White Sox his last time out. That was the first earned run he's given up this season, he'd allowed just one run (unearned) over 16 innings previously. The Indians counter with Danny Salazar, who makes just his second start of the season.
2. Batter vs. Pitcher - Miguel Cabrera is hitting .385 over 13 at bats, while the Tigers lineup as a whole is hitting .320 off the right-hander.
3. X-Factor - Cleveland ranks dead last in the American League with just 44 runs scored after 14 games. They were shutout in Chicago in their last game.
Selection: This is a play on the Detroit Tigers(10*)
