AAA's SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH!
(MLB) Detroit vs. Cleveland,
Money Line: -205.00 Cleveland (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 6* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the Cleveland Indians.

Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this case we feel that Carlos Carrasco and the hard-hitting home side could/should easily be much larger ones:

Jordan Zimmermann: He's 5-6 with a 5.58 ERA. Zimmermann most recently gave up four runs off five hits and a walk over five innings in a loss to the Indians on Saturday. Zimmermann has looked decent previous, but has now allowed ten runs over his last 9.2 innings. Note that he's 0-3 with a 6.45 ERA on the road.

Carrasco: He's 9-3 with a 3.50 ERA. Carrasco continues to get better as the season has progressed, most recently allowing one run off four this and a walk while striking out seven over seven innings in a victory over the Tigers on Saturday. Carrasco has now given up two runs or fewer in 11 of his 16 starts this year and owns a great 1.05 WHIP and 9.5 K/9. Note that he's 7-1 with a 3.48 ERA in all "night" games.

The bottom line: We expect Carrasco to easily outduel his "gas can" counterpart. Play on the INDIANS.
