Cleveland at Detroit

Cleveland got the win here yesterday, 2-1, but still isn't hitting. They had six hits, two walks, and rank #26 in runs scored and #24 in on base percentage. Starter Corey Kluber is getting too much respect from oddsmakers from past performance, off to an 0-3 start with a 6.16 ERA. He gave up six runs on nine hits and a walk over six innings as the Indians fell 6-0 to the Mets as -155 chalk. Kluber is on a 3-9 run on the road going back to last season with a 4.25 ERA, and the last three years he is 1-5 against the Tigers with a 4.26 ERA. The Indians are 4-10 when Kluber has five days of rest. Detroit is home and #13 in runs scored, #11 in slugging. Detroit righty Anibal Sanchez (2-1) throws well in this park and the last three years he is 20-12 at home. He has dominated the Cleveland lineup over that time, allowing 21 hits in 30+ innings, with nine walks and 35 strikeouts. The Tigers are 12-4 in Sanchez's last 16 starts, including his last eight starts in this park. And the Indians are on a 19-44 run at Detroit. Back Detroit.
