The Cleveland Indians can clinch home field advantage throughout the American League post-season with a win today at home over the Chicago White Sox and I see that happening. Cleveland showed no mercy on Chicago yesterday, pummeling them 10-1. It won’t get any easier for the White Sox today because Corey Kluber is expected to go for the Indians. Cleveland’s ace has been throwing flames, with a record of 18-4, an ERA of 2.27, and a 0.86 WHIP. The Indians are 6-0 in Kluber’s last 6 starts against the White Sox and 4-1 in his last 5 turns against them at Progressive Field. The young upstart Carson Fulmer is expected to get the nod for the White Sox. Fulmer is 2-1, with a 4.42 ERA, a 1.31 WHIP, and was yanked early in his last start with a blister and that is always an issue. The White Sox are 15-38 in their last 53 road games and 0-5 in their last 5 meetings with the Indians. The number is high in this one and so it should be.
