The Detroit Tigers are in second place in the AL Central, a few games up on Cleveland. These teams will meet in Game 2 of a three game set at Progressive Field Wednesday, and the Indians will be a significant favorite. My money is on Detroit as a dog on the runline.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - The Indians send Ace Corey Kluber to the mound, but the 30 year old right-hander has not pitched well in 2016. Kluber (1-3, 4.24 ERA) allowed three runs on five hits over seven innings in a 4-3 loss to Philadelphia in his last start. He's 0-2 with a 7.94 ERA at home so far. He hasn't fooled Detroit, going 1-5 with a 4.26 ERA in his last 10 starts versus Detroit.
2. Batter vs. Pitcher - Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera absolutely owns Kluber, batting .500 with five home runs and 10 RBIs in 38 at bats against him. The lineup as a whole is batting .308 over a combined 159 at bats.
3. X-Factor - The Tigers have won 21 of the last 29 meetings at Cleveland.
Selection: This is a play on the Detroit Tigers +1.5 (8*)
