This season the Indians are 15-8 at home and the Tigers are 10-12 on the road.
The Tigers have lost 2 straight and 8 of their last 12 games.
The Indians are 19-7 in their last 26 home games facing the Tigers.
The Indians have won 18 of their last 22 games.
For Detroit Max Scherzer (5-0 3.98) gets the start and he did not have a good last outing giving up 5 runs in 7 innings in a no-decision facing the Houston Astros.[dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Corey Kluber (2-3 5.40 ERA) gets the starting nod for Cleveland and in his last start he gave up 3 earned runs in 6 innings in a win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Scherzer already beat the Indians this season and is 5-1 with a 4.64 ERA over his last 7 starts facing them. He has to be happy to be back on the road, as on the road he has an ERA of only 1.23 and at home his ERA is 5.83.
Kluber bounced back after getting trounced with a solid last outing.
Last season Miguel Cabrera won the Triple Crown and the MVP and this season he has a chance to repeat his performance, as he is the leading hitter in the AL, has the most RBI’s, and ranks 3rd in HR. He and Prince Fielder lead a potent Detroit offense that ranks #1 in the Majors in runs, team batting average and on base percentage.
The Indians also have a good offense, a they rank 4th in the Majors in runs and 6th in team batting average.
In some betting trends for this American League Central match up the Tigers are 1-4 in their last 5 overall, 20-8 in Scherzer’s last 28 starts, and they have an Over record of 12-5 in their last 17 vs. a team with a winning record.
The Indians are 13-3 in their last 16 home games, 1-7 in Kluber’s last 8 home starts, and they have an Over record of 3-1-1 in their last 5 games.
Jason’s Pick: I am going with the Indians in this game even though they are the home underdog and Scherzer is on the hill.
