MLB - 963 Minnesota Twins @ 964 Cleveland Indians
(Starting Pitchers: P. Hernandez vs C. Carrasco)
Minnesota will be starting Pedro Hernandez today, who posted a 5.85 ERA in eight appearances for Minnesota earlier this season and he didn't look any better at Triple-A Rochester with a 4.50 ERA. On the other hand, Cleveland will start Carlos Carrasco, who had two spot starts and struggling in both. However, he faced the Yankees and Detroit on the road in those games. On his last start against Kansas City, Carrasco dominated with one run allowed in 7.1 innings, while having a 4/1 K/BB ratio.
I believe Carrasco is a nice pitcher and he won't have a lot of problems against the Twins' lineup today. On the other hand, Pedro Hernandez is yet to show that he can be a SP on the MLB right now and so, on a matchup against a top hitting team versus LH pitchers (#3 with .759 OPS), I expect the Indians to pick up an easy win today.
