Cleveland Indians (18-20) @ Toronto Blue Jays (19-20)

Pitching Match-ups:

• Justin Masterson (2-1, 3.86 ERA/3.28 SIERA ) vs. R.A. Dickey (3-3, 4.72/4.52)

Justin Masterson has had an up and down season to date. However, it looks like he might be starting to hit his stride. If only the big rightie could get some run support. As his 2-1 record would indicate, Masterson has seen many an impressive start wasted thanks to the inability of the offense to put runs on the scoreboard.

Meanwhile, as previously mentioned, Dickey has struggled since moving to the American League. His knuckleball just doesn’t seem to have the same crazy movement inside of the Rogers Center as it did at Citi Field in New York. Regardless, Dickey is still a good pitcher capable of putting up a lot of zeros if his Knuckleball is dancing around.

• Corey Kluber (3-3, 3.48/2.89) vs. Dustin McGowan (2-1, 4.63/5.10)

Corey Kluber Continues to be a revelation for the Tribe. Ever since the midway point of last season, Kluber has been nearly unhittable. The trend has continued so far in 2014. Kluber has been the most consistent pitcher in the starting rotation. With his ability to strike out hitters, he might also be the most dominant. Now if only the guy would crack a smile once in a while.

As for the Blue Jays, they will counter with Dustin McGowan. That means there is no guarantee what they might get. McGowan, much like of the rest of the back-end of the Jays rotation has been inconsistent and really hasn’t pitched well, as the 5.10 SIERA against a 4.63 ERA can attest. Hopefully the Indians can take advantage of a pitcher struggling to find his way.

• Danny Salazar (1-3, 5.65/3.37) vs. J.A. Happ (1-1, 4.63/5.47)

Danny Salazar seems to have turned the corner after a rough start to the 2014 season. He finally nailed down his first win and continues to show improvement. However, the season is still young and so is Salazar. Expect a lot of instance throughout this season where he takes one step forward and three steps back. Against this lineup, there is a chance this could be one of those three steps back kind of performances.

J.A. Happ continues the trend of the Blue Jays having starting pitchers with initials for first names. Happ was once one of the top pitching prospects in the Phillies organization. Now he is simply looking to keep a job at the big league level. He has all the tools to be a legitimate major league starting pitcher, but so far results have been mixed.
