Play: Cleveland Indians
Rating: 8/10*
The Cleveland Indians had won nine straight games prior to falling victim to a White Sox walk-off homer on Sunday. My money is on the Tribe to bounce back with a victory at Fenway Park tonight.
They'll face Doug Fister (0-5, 7.46 ERA) who will take the ball for the Boston Red Sox. Fister allowed six runs on seven hits in 4/3 innings against the Blue Jays his last start. He's pitched out of the bullpen since and gets a spot start here only because David Price on the 10-day DL.
The Indians turn to Mike Clevinger (5-3, 3.20 ERA) who was roughed up by the Halos his last time out, but he has otherwise pitched very well lately. We can also note that Clevinger is 4-1 with a 2.15 ERA in seven road starts this season.
The Red Sox are Red Sox are 2-6 in their last eight overall, and I think this is a very fair price on the Indians to claim the series-opener.
