Reigning MVP Miguel Cabrera is in the race again for his 2nd straight Triple Crown, as he leads the American League in batting average and ranks second in both HR and RBI. However, he may miss tonight’s game with an injury. Still, the Tigers rank second in the AL in runs and are first in team batting average and on-base percentage.
Detroit will start Anibal Sanchez (9-7, 2.59) tonight and in his last outing he was solid giving up only 1 earned run in 7 innings of work in a win over the Washington Nationals.
Core Kluber (7-5 3.77 ERA) gets the starting nod for the Indians and in his last outing he went 8 innings and gave up 4 earned runs in a no decision facing the Chicago White Sox.
Kluber is 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA in 3 starts facing Detroit this season.
Sanchez has won 2 straight starts and in his career facing Cleveland he is 3-1 with a 1.76 ERA in 5 starts.
In some betting trends for this American League Central match up the Tigers are 4-1 in their last 5 road games, 2-6 in Sanchez’s last 8 road starts, and they have an Under record of 4-1 in their last 5 games.
The Indians are 10-1 in their last 11 overall, 5-1 in Klubers last 6 starts, and they have an Under record of 5-0 in their last 5 games as a home underdog.
Jason’s Pick: The Indians and Klubner have not had much success against the Tigers this season, but I think that will change tonight, as the Indians will take the first game of this big division series.
