The Indians start a four-game series in Detroit, with Corey Kluber taking on Buck Farmer. The Indians clinched an AL Central tie with the Tigers losing on Sunday, so the Tigers need to win all their remaining games while Cleveland loses all of theirs. The Tigers also need to win as many as possible to have a shot at the AL Wild Card.
Kluber can set a new single season high with a win as he goes for his 19th victory of the season. Kluber dominated Detroit this season, 3-0 in three starts with a 1.88 ERA. He struck out 24 in 24 innings with just five walks. Farmer makes his first start of the season. He struck out 25 in 24 1/3 innings as a reliever, but walked 16.
The Mets travel to Miami for what will no doubt be a very emotional game as the Marlins publicly mourn the death of Jose Fernandez. Fernandez was schedule to start this game, but Adam Conley gets the pressure of filling in for the former ace. Bartolo Colon takes the hill for the Mets.
Colon pitched great since the start of August, with a 2.26 ERA in ten starts. He’s also giving the Mets 6 1/3 innings per start in that time. Conley’s ERA is about one run better at home, as he allowed just 4 of his 13 home runs in Miami.
Finally, the Mariners and Astros start a three-game series as both team fight for a wild card. The teams are both on the edge of the wild card race, and any kind of split in the series likely ends the chances for both teams. Hisashi Iwakuma battles Collin McHugh. Iwakuma posted his highest season win total this year, but also his highest ERA. His ERA is at 4.24 against the Astros. McHugh is 3-0 in September with a 3.27 ERA. He allowed just one home runs in his 22 innings this month.
