Pitching in this one is Zach Plesac for the Guardians and Cory Kluber for the Rays.
Plesac has had a mediocre season while seemingly chasing the successes he had in his rookie and shortened sophomore season. Since then, he hasn't been able to keep an ERA below four.
Similarly, Kluber is chasing the fading success had while playing for Clevland. Tampa is the third team he has played for since leaving Ohio. In his last full year with Cleveland, he posted a 2.89 ERA; he enters play today with a 3.91 ERA.
