I'm not going against Scott Kazmir in the opener today, but in game two of this double-header I'll take Zach McAllister over Josh Lindblom. Cleveland started strong out of the gate last season going 43-38, and they are 1-0 to start this season. Dating back to last year, the Indians are 26-8 vs. AL West opponents. And over that span, they are also 68-50 in expected low-scoring games (games with a total of 8.5 or less). In their last 26 such games, the Tribe is 21-5! And finally, in McAllister's last 11 starts vs. a losing team, he's 10-1. Take the Indians in game two today.
