TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASEBALL SELECTION WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30TH
#940 CLEVELAND with Carrasco (+105) over NY Yankees with Tanaka at 7:08 PM EST
Off yesterday’s 12-3 beating and with elimination staring them in the face, the Indians will rally behind one of their best arms.
On the bump for the Tribe will be veteran right-hander Carlos Carrasco. Since August 29th, No. 59 has made six trips to the mound and been touched for only seven earned runs and 27 hits in 38.0 frames. Carrasco has whiffed 43 and walked 12 on his way to a 1-1 record with a phenomenal 1.66 ERA. With 12 career outings (nine starts) against the Bronx Bombers, Carlos has assembled a 5-5 tally with a 4.04 ERA.
Pitching for the Pinstripes will be right-hander Masahiro Tanaka. In his last four outings, No. 19 was tanked for nine earned runs and 24 hits in 21.1 innings of work. Tanaka fanned 20 and walked four on his way to a 2-2 record with a 2.95 ERA. The road has been a little bit of an issue for Masahiro too. As a guest, Tanaka was slammed for five earned runs and 18 hits in 19.1 frames. That adds up to an ugly 0-2 tally with a 2.33 ERA.
On a technical note, Cleveland has won seven of its last eight, nine of its last 14 in the second game of a series and 40 of its last 56 on Wednesday. On the other side of the grass, New York has dropped 12 of its last 16 as a postseason guest and seven of its last nine on foreign soil facing a foe that holds a won/loss percentage greater than .500.
The Indians strong pitching staff got hammered yesterday. With their season on the line, the Tribe will fight back and force one more game. Take Cleveland with Carrasco. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
