This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Cleveland Indians.
Setting the scene: Two teams which hope to make a deep playoff run collide in the finale of a three game set on Sunday afternoon. Cleveland took the first game 3-2, while Toronto bounced back in yesterday's 6-5 victory. In what should be another nail-biter, we're expecting Corey Kluber and the home side to take advantage and find a way to get the job done.
Marcus Stroman: He's 9-5 with a 4.63 ERA. Stroman has been solid since the All Star Break and most recently gave up two runs off five hits over six innings in a victory over Houston on Sunday. He owns a 3.33 ERA over his last eight starts, but note that he does own a poor 1.4 HR/9 ratio over that span.
Corey Kluber: He's 13-8 with a 3.15 ERA. Kluber comes in off a gem vs. the White Sox on Tuesday, giving up one run off seven hits while also striking out seven over six innings. Note that his 163 strikeouts are fourth-best in the American League, to go along with just 38 walks overall. Kluber is getting better down the stretch as he's won four in a row while posting a 1.65 ERA over his last seven.
The bottom line: Stroman owns a 4.56 ERA on the road, while Kluber has a 2.96 ERA at home. For arguments sake, we're going to call these potent line-ups a "wash." But we're going to give Kluber the big nod on the mound this afternoon. Stroman's inexperience in these types of important regular season contests turns out to be a difference maker, play on CLEVELAND.
