The Cleveland Indians have dropped the first 2 games of a 4-game set to the Houston Astros and will send Carlos Carrasco to the hill tonight to try to right the ship. Carrasco is 10-7, with an ERA of 3.06, and in his last start on Friday against Miami he delivered, fanning 11 batters in 7-1/3 scoreless innings and is 3-1 in his last 5 starts. The 12-10 Doug Fister will go for the Astros and he was drilled in his last start against Texas, yielding 8 runs on 10 hits in just 3-2/3 innings. The Indians are 4-1 in Carrasco’s last 5 home starts against a team with a winning record and the Astros are 4-11 in their last 15 in Cleveland. I’m running with the Tribe again tonight.
Tonight’s pick:
