Cleveland's priced to high, and I think I'm getting good value here at 2:1(almost)
Both teams offenses are pretty much equal, scoring on the average of about 4 3/4 runs a game apiece.
Of course Kluber is the better starter, but don't discount Fulmer, he's got that four pitch arsenal and that curve ball is devastating when it's on.
Kluber is Kluber, you know all about him, had an outstanding post season last season.
2014 Cy Young Award winner, yadda, yadda, yadda.
I'm not trying to sell anyone on Fulmer, but he's made 42 career starts now, he has a career (if you can call 1 1/2 years major league experience a career) ERA of 3.12 very solid pitching in the big bats league, a career WH/IP of 1.11
(rock solid again) strikes out about 8 per 9 innings, like I mentioned has nasty stuff.
One last item, I'm not going to debate anybody about BvP statistics, I'll say it one more time.
BvP statistics are an ancillary statistics used to back up your logic for betting a side.
It's not a go to stat, it's not the be all, end all stat, but it's useful when handicapping a game.
Having said that, do you think Detroit has had problems with Kluber in the past?
Only one in the lineup tonight that has had problems with Kluber is Kinsler.
And sorry if you are not a fan of the BvP, but 266 at bats is a huge sample size.
Not saying it's a lock, not saying it's a slam dunk, what I am saying is Fulmer is
more than capable of throwing strike for strike with Kluber and the Tiger bats are
more than capable of out hitting the Indians bats.
+195 is value here.
A lot of value.
Pass, fade or tail, it's a good.
