Don't look now, but somehow the Cleveland Indians are just 1.5 games behind Tampa Bay for the final wildcard spot in the heated AL chase that involves several teams. Ubaldo Jimenez has often had control issues, and his last stint vs. the Pale Hose lasted but five innings with three runs and four walks. Andre Rienzo is off his best start of his rookie season, holding the homer heavy Baltimore Orioles to a single run over 6.2 innings of work. The Indians have had all kinds of problems behind Jimenez on the road to a posted total of 7-8.5 where they are 2-10 in his last 12. I have more faith in Rienzo, who is battling for a spot in the rotation next year. Play this one on Chicago.
