Yu Darvish is squaring off against the Indians second best starter tonight, Carlos Carrasco. Carrasco, as we discussed earlier, is coming off a hot three-game stretch against the Royals, Brewers, and Cardinals, during which he’s allowed just 2 earned runs over 19.0 IP with 19Ks and 5 walks.
Yu Darvish, of course, has been pretty darn hot himself. After a slow start against the Reds in his last outing (with some early wildness), he came back strong and ultimately finished 6.0 innings of 3-run baseball with 9 strikeouts. I want to see him win this damn Cy Young award, so he needs a good start tonight.
