This is a 10* American League SIDE OF THE WEEK on the Cleveland Indians.
Setting the scene: Cleveland is one of the hottest teams in the entire league right now and it will be sending a starter to the hill who has dominated on the road this season. Oakland is playing out the rest of a miserable campaign and hands the ball to an inconsistent and unproven rookie.
Carlos Carrasco: He's 8-6 with a 3.34 ERA. Carrasco comes in off a sub-par outing for his standards, giving up five runs off eight hits in a no-decision vs. the White Sox on Wednesday. There was a silver lining however, as Carrasco would strike out 11 and walk no one. Despite the sub-par outing, Carrasco has still racked up 28 strikeouts over his last 20 innings.
Andrew Triggs: He's 0-1 with a 4.98 ERA. In his most recent start he gave up just one run over five innings in a no-decision vs. the Rangers on Tuesday. Triggs has only made three big league starts.
The bottom line: Cleveland swept three straight from Oakland at home earlier in the year, winning 5-3, 6-3 and 8-0. Oakland is at a major disadvantage in every department today. Carrasco is the superior starter. The A's limp back home after a miserable 1-5 road-trip, while the Indians storm into Oakland having won eight of their last 11, including two of three from the Blue Jays over the weekend. The visitors also have big advantages at the plate and in the overall momentum category. With those three major factors all working in our favor, it's time to pull the trigger on this 10* GAME OF THE WEEK.
