Money Line: 104.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Win
David Price trumps Danny Salazar and the Tigers don't lose to the Indians.
Detroit is 8-2 this season versus Cleveland. The Tigers have won nine of their last 10 at Progressive Field.
The Indians are 5-10 in their last 15 home games. They are averaging 2.5 runs during their last 12 games at Progressive Field.
Price dominated the Indians when he beat them, 4-0, at home 11 days ago giving up seven hits in a complete game victory. Price has owned the Indians going 8-1 against them with a 2.11 ERA in 11 career starts. He is 3-0 with a 0.61 ERA in his last four matchups versus the Indians.
Cleveland is averaging just 2.7 runs this month. Price should tame the Indians again. Price has a 2.50 ERA on the season with a 2.94 FIP. He remains an elite hurler.
I see regression coming from Salazar. I don't put him in Price's elite class. Price should go deeper into the game, too, which is important because both bullpens have fatigue issues.
