The Indians and the Rays are going to be playing against each other again on Saturday night. Both of these teams are over the five hundred mark on the year and the Indians are the division leader for the AL Central. The Rays are not even in the top 2 in the AL East, but in a division with the power packed teams of the Red Sox and Yankees it is easy to see why they are not anywhere close to winning.

The Indians are coming into the game with a total of 676 runs being scored and are hitting at a clip of .259. The Indians have a team ERA that is sitting at 3.82 on the year so far on the season.

The Indians are countering with Shane Bieber. So far on the season Bieber has started in 14 games with a total of 79.2 innings being pitched and struck out 83 batters on the season. This has led to Bieber getting a 8-2 record, but a 4.52 ERA so far this season.

The Rays offense is a little bit outmatched in this game. However, one difference the Rays have is they are sending out Snell to the mound. Snell has been amazing on the season and will shut down the Indians offense in this tight pitchers duel. Final Score Prediction, Tampa Bay Rays win 4-2.
