The Cleveland Indians have not had a strong season to date, but they wheel out one of the top pitchers in the game today when they go against state rival, Cincinnati. Cincinnati and Cleveland are both 18-23 on the season, but Kluber is a game changer, and the reigning AL Cy Young award winner is flashing the same brilliance of late. Kluber has struck out 30 in his last two starts, and the last to do so was Randy Johnson 14 years ago. The Reds are a mess right now as they have dropped six straight. They haven't even been in the hunt for a win, having been outscored 47-16, and have allowed seven runs or more in five of the six. Cincinnati has also been poor on the road in interleague play, logging an ugly 19-40 mark in their last 59. The Indians are now 11-2 behind Kluber at home in his last 13 starts vs. a losing team. Play on Cleveland.
