With ace CC Sabathia on the hill for them tonight, the Cleveland Indians at home are the right play when they host AJ Burnett and the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Tribe sends ace lefty C.C. Sabathia to the hill knowing they are 5-0 behind him this season and 8-1 at home the past three seasons against the Blue Jays.
Sabathia has tossed 34 innings so far this season in his five outings, striking out 35 and walking just eight while sporting a 3.18 ERA. His mound opponent for Toronto tonight, AJ Burnett has also made five starts, but his control has not been near as good as Sabathia's as Burnett has 17 walks in 28 innings against 19 strikeouts. The Blue Jays are 2-3 in Burnett's starts this season.
With Sabathia in commanding K/BB form, look for more of the same here this evening.
