MLB Free Premium Play 04/22: Cleveland Indians @ Chicago White Sox

  
Cleveland  at Chicago White Sox 

MLB - 969 Cleveland Indians @ 970 Chicago White Sox

(Starting Pitchers: J. Masterson vs D. Axelrod)


This is a favorable matchup for Cleveland's offense, who has scored a total of 24 runs on their last two games, while having a +1.000 OPS! Daryl Axelrod has been struggling on this early season due to his lack strikeout stuff, with an unimpressive 9/7 K/BB ratio. This will be a tough outing for him, as he struggles against LH hitters with a career 5.32 FIP and 4.98 xFIP against LH batters! This is a problem for him tonight, as Cleveland is full of LH batters on their lineup as usual:

1. Michael Brantley (L) LF
2. Jason Kipnis (L) 2B
3. Asdrubal Cabrera (S) SS
4. Nick Swisher (S) RF
5. Jason Giambi (L) DH
6. Carlos Santana (S) C
7. Mark Reynolds (R) 1B
8. Lonnie Chisenhall (L) 3B
9. Drew Stubbs (R) CF

On the other hand, Justin Masterson has been one of the best SP's in the league on this early season, with impeccable command and this will be a problem for the impatient White Sox's offense. Masterson is a GB pitcher and this is also a matchup for the White Sox, who rely on the long bombs on their offense. This is a overall great matchup for the Indians tonight and so, I'll be taking them in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 969 Cleveland Indians ML (w/ J. Masterson) @ -117 / 1.85 on 5Dimes
