Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the Detroit Tigers +1.5.
The Tigers host Cleveland in Game 2 of this series in the Motor City today, and the Indians took Game 1 by a score of 2-1. The bookmakers have Cleveland as a road favorite with their ace on the mound in this one, but Corey Kluber's performance so far this season doesn't justify this line.
Kluber (0-3, 6.16 ERA) was torched for six runs on nine hits over six innings in a home loss to the Mets his last time out. He hasn't had much success against the Tigers in his career, going 1-5 with a 4.26 ERA in his last 10 starts against them. He's 1-2 with a 5.89 ERA in his last three starts in Detroit. He also has a history of struggling in the early months of the season, going 4-6 with a 3.90 ERA in April over the last three years.
The Tigers hand the ball to Anibal Sanchez, who is coming off a rough outing on the road. Sanchez (2-1, 4.60 ERA) allowed five runs on eight hits over five innings in a loss to Houston his last time out. Prior to that he gave up just two runs on four hits in five innings in a home win over the Pirates.
He's had plenty of success against this Cleveland lineup, as the Indians are batting just .244 against him in a combined 119 at bats. One player who has hit him well is Michael Brantley, who is batting .318 in 22 at bats. Brantley remains on the DL with a shoulder injury though, so he won't be a factor here today.
Take DET.
