Bet Today’s Tigers vs. Indians Game
OUR PICK: Carrasco has been brilliant thus far to start the season. He allowed only one run on four hits while striking out seven over seven innings on Tuesday in a no-decision against the White Sox. He allowed a home run to Todd Frazier in the fifth inning but that was all the damage Chicago could do against Carrasco. The starter is a perfect 6-0 in his last six starts against the Tigers, who are just 7-20 in their last 27 games against the Indians. Let’s just hope the Tribe can muster some runs for Carrasco.
