The Detroit Tigers look to continue winning today when they take on the Cleveland Indians in Major League Baseball action. The game is scheduled for a 4:10 p.m. start time and it will be televised live on MLB.tv from Cleveland. Currently the betting odds for the game have the Indians favored to pick up the win in what should be a great pitching matchup.
Today's game between Detroit and Cleveland pits David Price against Corey Kluber on the mound. Detroit has been beating up opposing pitchers all season, leading the league in average at .366 so far, including having three players inside the Top 5 individual average — Jose Iglesias at .600, Anthony Gose at .471 and Yoenis Cespedes at .444, with Iglesias and Gose holding down the top two spots in the American League.
Current Tigers have also beat up on Kluber in his career, knocking him around for a .351 average in 131 plate appearances. Miguel Cabrera has hit four bombs against Kluber and holds a .533 average against him in 30 at bats (16 hits). Victor Martinez holds a .409 average (9-of-22) against Kluber with three home runs while J.D. Martinez and Cespedes are a combined 8-of-16 against him.
And, with all that, it's worth noting that Price has beaten Cleveland three times the last few seasons, posting a 3.38 ERA in over 26 innings of work. He had just one start at Progressive Field during that time, throwing seven innings and allowing just one earned run in a win, striking out eight.
Detroit is just hitting the ball so well right now, even Kluber might not be able to slow them down.
