The Cleveland Indians finished strong a year ago, and are off to a 3-1 start in 2014. The problem they have had is when they go deeper into their rotation, as the answers are few. Today they turn to Carlos Carrasco who was 1-4 last season with a king-sized ERA of 6.75. Carasco allowed 9 runs in less than 16 innings this spring, and is still bringing issues to the mound. The Indians have had enough pitching to keep them close, with two come-from-behind wins, as well as a 9th inning win to start the season, but may not have that luxury behind Carasco. The Tribe sports an ugly 4-16 mark behind Carasco at home, and that includes an 0-6 mark vs. a losing team. Take Minnesota in this one.
