Indians will send Laffey to the mound back off the DL and I think he will struggle against the White Sox who are playing their best baseball of the year. Laffey struggled in 2 rehab starts and will likely cause the Indians to have to go to the bullpen. The same bullpen that has a 6.25ERA past 3 games and 5.58 over their last 5. Cleveland is just 4-10 in their last 14 visits here and have been awful on the road this year. White sox in their last 10 are averaging 7.53R/9 vs. LHP. White Sox are 6-0 in their last 6 vs. LHP.
White Sox send Contreras to the mound who has a 1.44ERA in his last 5 starts vs. the Indians. Contreras has been pretty consistent as of late after struggling earlier in the season. He faces a team he has confidence against and I don't think the Indians will score enough off Contreras to cover the damage the White Sox will have off Laffey and the bullpen. The White Sox are 17-9 in their last 26 Game 2's.
Indians have lost 73% of their road games by more than 1 run while the White sox have won 76% of their home games by more than 1 run. This one calls for the Run Line!
