My 8* play is on the Cleveland Indians at 7:10 ET.
The Cleveland Indians took two of three at Houston to open the 2015 season but were swept at home over the weekend by Detroit. The Indians gave up at least EIGHT runs in each of those three games, after surrendering a total of just THREE in their first three games. Starters Zach McAllister and T.J. House allowed a combined 11 runs in 5.1 innings on Friday and Sunday but Corey Kluber delivered a strong start Saturday, as it was the bullpen which allowed seven runs in a 9-6 defeat. The White Sox totaled just SEVEN runs in opening 0-4 but Adam LaRoche homered in 5-4 and 6-2 wins over Minnesota Saturday and Sunday.
Chicago’s rotation is looking to build off its first quality start after Chris Sale struck out eight and limited the Twins to one run in six innings in Sunday’s four-run victory. Left-hander Jose Quintana gets the nod here, after struggling in Wednesday’s 7-5 defeat at Kansas City, allowing five ERs on nine hits in five innings, although he didn’t receive the loss. The 26-year-old Colombian is 3-0 with a 3.24 ERA in 11 appearances (nine starts) in his career against the Indians (1-0 with 21 strikeouts in 23 innings over four outings last season). Quintana had a solid 3.32 ERA last season but went a modest 9-11 plus the White Sox went just 12-20 (-$856) in all of his starts.
Cleveland counters with Carlos Carrasco, hoping to avoid its longest home skid to start a season in 28 years. The Indians haven’t started 0-4 at home since 1987! Carrasco struck out 10 and allowed three hits over 6.1 innings in a 2-0 win at Houston on Wednesday, a day after signing a four-year, $22 million extension. “Boy, he came out with really explosive stuff and I think knowing how much he missed in spring training, it probably wasn’t surprising that he got a little bit tired,” manager Terry Francona said. “But he pitched so well … his stuff was so good.” Carrasco, who threw 88 pitches, was limited to three spring training starts as he took time away for the birth of his daughter.
Carrasco had been 0-4 with a 7.12 ERA lifetime vs the White Sox until going 2-0 with a 0.53 ERA in his final three appearances against them last season. He allowed one run and eight hits over 15.1 innings with 15 strikeouts in the two starts. The White Sox were just 51-66 vs right-handers last year and that includes 22-36 on the road, averaging a puny 3.0 RPG in 39 road games at night vs righties. Considering the fact that the Indians are 15-3 at home in this series since 2013, expect Cleveland to get its first home win of 2015 in this one.
