INDIANS KEY TRENDS: The Indians have won six of Salazar’s last eight road starts, are 13-5 in his last 18 starts overall, and are 8-2 in his last 10 divisional games. They’re also a perfect 5-0 when he starts a game following a Quality Start in his last appearance and are 6-1 in his last seven outings coming off a team loss in their previous game.
TWINS KEY TRENDS: The Twins are just 10-21 in their last 31 home games after losing to the White Sox in extra innings yesterday. They’re also 17-37 in their last 54 games overall but have won five of six coming off a loss. They’re also 4-1 in Gibson’s last five starts against American League Central opponents.
Bet Tonight’s Indians vs. Twins Game
OUR PICK: The defending American League pennant winners don’t look right. The Tribe is off to a 5-7 start to the season but they’re just 3-7 over its last 10 games. They lost as a massive -235 money line favorite yesterday when they couldn’t figure out the Tigers’ Matt Boyd and have struggled to find consistency offensively in the early going. One mistake by their pitching staff has proven to be all it takes to knock off the Indians in the early going. The Twins will eventually slide down the standings but for now, they’re 7-5 and competitive. They’re worth a flier as an underdog tonight.
