Cleveland is the hottest team in baseball winning 30 of its last 33 and Carlos Carrasco is one of the hottest pitchers going 5-0 with a 1.52 ERA in his last six starts.

Carrasco is 2-0 with a 1.59 ERA in two games against Minnesota this season. The Indians are 9-2 in his last 11 home starts.

The Twins did a lot of celebrating last night after clinching a playoff spot. They are going to be very flat especially with this being a very early start time.

The Twins' bullpen is overworked and starter Ervin Santana has a far more important start next week when he faces either the Yankees or Red Sox in the playoffs.
