Cleveland and Oakland continue their series Tuesday night with Game 2 of a 3 game set.
The Indians continue to try and create more separation in the AL Central while Oakland looks to play the spoiler role.
Cleveland Indians
Cleveland endured one of the most entertaining series’ they’ve played all season long over the weekend. The series featured late inning heroics and solid pitching from starters and bullpen pitchers.
Here in Oakland, a let down is something Cleveland has to avoid.
The Indians enter play this series 32-28 on the road, while their starting pitching has given up less than 4 runs per road game.

Danny Salazar takes the ball here and he has been the most confusing pitcher to figure out.
After dominating in the early part of the season and even being selected to the All Star Game, Salazar found himself on the DL with an elbow injury.
Without a rehab start, Salazar entered play against the White Sox and lasted just 1.0 inning while giving up 3 runs and walking 3. The RH was then sent out to the bullpen in the 2nd inning to throw what seemed to be a simulated game.
With his confidence down, this is a huge start for Salazar. Look for early signs to tell how the start goes as he needs to come out throwing strikes.
Oakland Athletics
The Athletics are used the role they’re currently in.
Oakland enters play in the spoiler role, as they once again try to cause havoc for playoff contending teams.
The Athletics rank near the bottom in almost every category in the MLB. What stands out the most is their team ERA (4.64), which ranks them 26th. Offensively, the A’s sit just below 4 runs per game, which puts them in 27th.

Manaea is just 1-3 in the month of August and has compiled an ERA of 5.32 in the 4 starts.

For the Indians to be successful, Salazar has to be successful.
His confidence is down, but now it’s about solving a head game. Mickey Calloway is one of the best pitching coaches in baseball and with this being a giant start for Salazar, look for a big turnaround here.
