The pitching matchup has Josh Tomlin on the mound for the Indians to face Matthew Boyd of the Tigers. Boyd was a hard-luck loser against the Royals last week.

PUBLIC BETTING INFORMATION
The public is backing Cleveland today. The Indians are currently getting 62 percent of the wagers for this game as the favorite against Detroit.
KEY INJURIES
Detroit has nobody listed on the injury report for today’s game. Cleveland outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall has been put on the DL due to a calf strain and is expected out until late May.
BETTING STRATEGIES
The Indians opened the series on Monday with a 2-0 win that featured just six hits. Corey Kluber pitched eight innings and struck out 13 while allowing just two hits to get his first win of 2018. Andrew Miller earned his first save with a perfect ninth. Francisco Liriano pitched six innings, allowing two runs on three hits with four strikeouts and three walks.
The two runs in the game came on a home run from Bradley Zimmer. It brought in himself and Yan Gomes. Nobody on either team had multiple hits in the game and the Tigers were held to just two altogether.
I don’t feel great about Cleveland being such a big favorite today. The Indians aren’t exactly hitting all that well and Tomlin really struggled in his first start while also dealing with a bit of a back injury. Boyd pitched well against the Royals and I think he can give the Tigers a chance to win tonight on the mound. I am going to take a chance on the underdog tonight.
