I think this is a good spot to take the Indians with Salazaron the rubber who has a 28K/ 5 BB mark on the season and is 3-0 on the seasonas well. Vs. the current members of the Royals, Salazar has a 21K/ 3 BB markand now the Royals lineup will be a bit thin as Lorenzo Cain is suspended forthis game and he was leading the Royals in batting average, OBP, and stolenbases as well. I will also note that Escobar and Rios are still on the DL forthe Royals as well.
I will also note that the Indians have activated 1B NickSwisher from the DL as this should give them some more offense hopefully.Swisher is 5-for-16 with 2 HR career vs. Vargas. Vargas takes the rubber forthe Royals and he has a pitiful 9K/ 8 BB mark in 19.2 IP so obviously Vargas isnot a strikeout pitcher and the 26 hits he has given up in 19.2 IP is a redflag also. This is the Royals worst pitcher and I think this is a good time togive him a fade. Opponents are hitting .420 vs. Vargas after they see him forthe first time in the game. I look for the Indians to put up 3 or 4 runs in the4th and 5th inning, then pile up a few insurance runs later in the game.
The Royals have cooled off slightly now as they have splittheir last 18 contest. The Indians have now won 3 of 5 and they have won thelast 4 meetings in Kansas City. The Indians are 8-3 in their last 11 followingan off day and are 9-2 in Salazar's last 11 games vs. the AL Central.
Salazar and Vargas squared off against each other once lastyear and Cleveland won the game, 6-1. I look for more of the same tonight. TakeCleveland tonight.
