Cleveland Indians vs St Louis Cardinals

The Indians face off against the against the Cardinals for game 2 of their 3 game series. The Indians are coming off a dominant 14-2 win in game one. For the Indians, Carlos Carrasco will be taking the mound posting a 4.50 era and a whip of 1.43. Carrasco has 39 strike outs on the season with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses. Carrasco's exit velocity is relatively high this season at 92.5 mph which will make it tougher for his fielders to make plays after the ball is hit. The Cleveland Indians are batting .217 as a team this season. For the Cardinals, Jack Flaherty will be taking the mound posting a 1.98 era and a whip of 0.73. Flaherty also has 12 strike outs and is 2-0 on the season. Flaherty has a exit velocity average of 82.9 mph which is the top 98% in the league, so I expect the Indians to have a tough day batting. The Cardinals have a .241 batting average as a team this season. Even though the Indians blew them out in game one, I think the Cardinals can bounce back and win this one with Flaherty on the mound.
