Final Analysis
Cornejo is a streaky pitcher. He only allowed 3 runs in his last 2 games, both against Chicago(AL). He has been knocked out in early innings several times this year. He has more walks than strike outs and teams are batting at .305 against him on the year. If he had a high strike out ratio one could over look the high batting average against, however with only 22 strikeouts on the year and 131 hits in 111 innings pitched we are sure that the numbers will eventually catch up with him.
Sabathia goes goes deep into all his games. He is in great form and has allowed more than 3 runs only 3 times all year. We look for him to rebound against a Detroit team that is only 4-17 on the year against lefties.
We recommend a 2-Unit play on Cleveland -1 1/2 -110(Run Line)
# 974 Cleveland -1 1/2 -110(Run Line) 2-Units(6:05 P.M. CST) (Detroit-Cornejo vs Cleveland-Sabathia)
