Southpaws Sabathia and Fossum square off tonight in Tampa, and all signs point to a low-scoring contest.
Cleveland starting pitcher C.C.Sabathia enters this game red-hot off his last three starts in which he has posted a 6:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a 0.78 ERA.
Tampa Bay starter Casey Fossum has been strong at home this season posting a very good 3.29 ERA in 12 starts at Tropicana Field. His last two home starts were versus Boston and Detroit and he did not surrender an earned run in either start covering 13.0 innings in which he allowed just nine hits, struck out 15 and walked only one. Fossum comes off a horrible outing in his last start at Oakland. However in four similar circumstances this season Fossum has followed a horrible performance with a quality start.
Tampa is 1-6-1 under in their last eight, scoring just 20 runs in the process. The Indians are 3-8-1 under in their last 12 and have allowed just 33 runs in the last 11.
Play: Under 9 (-105)
