The red hot Kansas City Royals start their 10-game road trip tonight when they travel to Progressive Field to take on the Cleveland Indians. Carlos Carrasco is expected to return from the DL tonight and get the start for the Indians. Carrasco is 2-0 on the season with an ERA of 2.45 and a WHIP of 0.95. In his last outing against the Royals he was lights out, striking out 15 and surrendering just 1 hit. Yordano Ventura is expected to take the hill for Kansas City. He is 4-3 on the season with a 5.17 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP. Ventura faced Cleveland on May 6th and was lit up, giving up 5 runs and 5 walks in 4 innings of work, resulting in a 7-1 loss. I like Cleveland to snap the Royals 6-game winning streak tonight.
Tonight’s pick:
Cleveland Indians
