The Cleveland Indians and the Kansas City Royals opened a 3-game set yesterday at Kauffman Stadium with the Royals taking the opener 4-0. I like the Indians chances today to even the score. The Indians will start Carlos Carrasco and the Royals will counter with Jason Hammel. Carrasco has been delivering, with a record of 5-2, a 2.89 ERA, a 0.92 WHIP, and the Indians are 7-1 in his last 8 starts in Kansas City. Hammel has been getting lit up. He is 1-6, with an ERA of 6.18 and a 1.71 WHIP. The Royals are 0-4 in his last 4 starts and 1-5 in his last 6 home starts. In the last 15 games between these two teams, Cleveland has won 11 of them. Edge Indians.
Today’s pick:
Cleveland Indians
