Cleveland Indians
Carrasco was able to follow up his nine-inning 14 strikeout gem with another quality start, but unfortunately was tagged with the loss against the Detroit Tigers. He gave up three earned runs in six innings of work while he struck out four and walked two.
His season stats are looking good as he owns a 8.69 K/9 compared to a low 1.98 BB/9. He’s also done a good job limiting the long ball with a 1.07 HR/9. His .271 BABIP is due for some regression, but it is encouraging to see his 3.47 FIP is lower than his 3.66 ERA.

Free Cleveland Indians vs. Houston Astros MLB Prediction: Cleveland edges out Houston on the road
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Indians +127 & UNDER 7.5 Runs
With the way both these pitchers have been pitching, and the way that unders have been trending for Houston this could be a low scoring game. Yes, Cleveland’s bullpen has been shaky, but playing against top teams usually brings out the best in your team. Roll with the road dogs who have a hotter lineup, while this total stays under 7.5 runs.
