Minnesota at Cleveland

The Cleveland Indians have had a promising year, and at 4.5 games off the pace for the second Wild Card slot, they remain in the hunt. The Tribe has a very favorable schedule remaining with 12 of their last 18 games against losing teams, as well as a pair of key series where they can make up some ground vs. KC and Detroit. Today they take the field at home where they are 43-30 on the season. One reason why they are still in the hunt has been the pitching of today's starter Corey Kluber. Kluber is 14-9 on the season with an ERA of 2.47. he is also 8-3 at home on the season. Minnesota has struggled for a long time against top pitching as they are a woeful 32-84 in their last 116 tries against a pitcher with a WHIP of less than 1.15. The Twins have also dropped their last five behind Gibson vs. a winning team. The Tribe stays in the hunt, so play on Cleveland.
