The Cleveland Indians will be at home tonight for their season opener against the Kansas City Royals. KC would like to forget the 2019 season after winning just 59 games and are expected to send the veteran southpaw Danny Duffy to the rubber. Duffy is coming off an injury-plagued year where he was 7-6, with a 4.34 ERA, and a 1.31 WHIP. Cleveland is expected to give the nod to Shane Bieber. Bieber was lights out last year, with a 15-8 record, a 3.28 ERA, a 1.05 WHIP, and he is a perfect 3-0 in his career against the Royals. Kansas City is a dismal 3-13 in Duffy’s last 16 starts against Cleveland and they are just 9-27 in their last 36 trips to Progressive Field. The Indians get it done.
