A pair of World Series contenders headline Tuesday’s MLB schedule. The Boston Red Sox will host the Cleveland Indians in the middle of a three-game set.
Oddsmakers have the Red Sox as a -168-moneyline favorite. The total is set at 7.
The Indians will send out Carlos Carrasco (10-4, 3.58 ERA), who took a no-decision in a 10-4 home victory over the Los Angeles Angels in his last start. Carrasco allowed a pair of runs on six hits over 6.1 innings while striking out five. The 30-year-old righthander is 1-1 with an ERA of 4.66 in five appearances (three starts) against the Red Sox in his career and in 2017. Carrasco is 7-2 in 11 road starts with an ERA of 2.87.
The Red Sox will go with Chris Sale. Sale is dominating on the mound this season. He has a 13-4 record with a 2.37 ERA and 211 strikeouts in 148 1/3 innings. Sale is 82-47 with a 2.93 ERA lifetime against the other teams in the major leagues. He is just 5-7 with a 4.07 in 27 career appearances (16 starts) against Cleveland.
The Indians are 6-4 in their last 10 against the Red Sox, including a three-game sweep in last year’s ALDS. Six games have gone under, with a push.
