Toronto ends a six-game road trip here. The Blue Jays are 5-8 in the last 13 starts made by Marcus Stroman (4.63 ERA). He has allowed more hits than innings pitched and batters hit .270 off him on the road. The team has lost six of his last seven road starts. He faces a powerhouse Cleveland offense that is fourth in runs scored, eighth in on-base percentage, fifth in slugging. The Indians go with ace Corey Kluber (13-8, 3.15 ERA), with a 7-4 record and a 2.96 ERA at home. He won his fourth straight start and improved to 5-0 with a 1.65 ERA in his last seven turns on Tuesday when he allowed one run in six innings of a 3-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox. The Indians are 9-4 at home against a team with a winning record. Cleveland is on a 7-3 run overall, including 8-3 at home, so back the home team with its ace. Play Cleveland.
