To say that the Cleveland Indians have owned Detroit in recent seasons would be an understatement. They've won 20 straight meetings and outscored the Tigers by 11 runs in a three-game sweep at Comerica Park last weekend.

Tigers' righty Michael Fulmer (0-0, 7.56 ERA) has, as his earned run average would suggest, had a shaky start to the season. Last time out he surrendered three runs on five hits (two homers) in 2 2/3 innings of an 8-5 loss to the Tribe. Just like tonight, he was opposed by Cleveland righty Adam Plutko (1-1, 3.95 ERA), who admittedly didn't impress either, but how could we not take the Tribe and their six-game winning streak against the slumping Tigers who have dropped nine on the bounce.

8* play on Cleveland Indians.
