(Starting Pitchers: M. Perez vs C. Kluber)
Martin Perez will start for Texas tonight and he is coming from allowing four earned runs in 6.1 innings against Baltimore. Perez's last two starts weren't indeed very good. He struggled against Detroit, with five earned runs allowed in 5.2 innings and then, he struggled against the Orioles, a team that is generally a poor hitting team versus LH pitchers like Perez. Tonight things will be tough for the Rangers' SP, as Cleveland is #2 in my ranking on hitting versus LH pitchers. Perez will have a tough matchup tonight and so, I expect him to struggle in here.
Corey Kluber left his last start Saturday with stiffness in his left arm, but he threw a bullpen session last Tuesday with no issues. He has been very impressive lately, with no earned runs allowed on his last two outings against Kansas City and at Minnesota. Prior to that, he had also dominated the Tigers with 10 strikeouts! Texas's offense has been poor as of late by being #23 in the league over the last 14 days and #21 over the last 30 days! Therefore, I expect Kluber to have another quality outing tonight, while helping his team in picking up a comfortable win in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 918 Cleveland Indians ML (w/ C. Kluber) @ -122 / 1.82 on 5Dimes
