MLB - 967 Cleveland Indians @ 968 Minnesota Twins
(Starting Pitchers: D. Salazar vs A. Albers)
Danny Salazar will start for Cleveland today and he is coming from a good outing, where he allowed four runs in 7.2 innings against Detroit last Wednesday. He was cruising before allowing a two-run home run to Miguel Cabrera in the eight inning. He's a top prospect and he started dominating the minors this season with a 2.67 ERA + 1.45 FIP in 33.2 innings at AA and then 2.73 ERA and 2.26 FIP in 59.1 innings at AAA. Now in the majors, he faced Toronto and Detroit on his first two games, two top offenses, and he looked good in both! His fastball is excellent and he should dominate the Twins tonight as well.
Minnesota will start Andrew Albers, who is coming from his debut start last Tuesday, where he was two outs away from a complete game shutout against the Royals. This was a great performance by Albers, but he isn't a top prospect at 27 years old. According to fangraphs, he is throwing 67% fastballs with an average speed of 86.7 mph. Now against Cleveland that is #1 in the league in hitting versus LH pitchers, I believe the Indians will put him in trouble. Therefore, I expect a comfortable win for the Indians tonight and so, I'll be taking them in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 967 Cleveland Indians ML (w/ D. Salazar) @ -125 / 1.80 on 5Dimes
