Shane Bieber. Any other questions why I like the Indians?
If Jacob deGrom isn't the best pitcher in baseball, Bieber could be. The Indians are turning to Bieber to prevent getting swept by the Reds. Bieber has a 2.11 ERA with 35 strikeouts in 21 1/3 innings. The Reds are due for serious offensive regression ranking first in the majors in runs and homers. Their offense is good, but not nearly this good.
Wade Miley is set to oppose Bieber. He's also due for regression - heavy regression having thrown 11 scoreless innings to begin the season. Miley has never opened with three victories in a row during his 10 years in the majors. He has a 4.60 ERA in seven career starts against the Indians, with the last one being in 2019.
I don't like the Indians' offense. But they should be able to cobble together a few runs against Miley, which is all Bieber and a strong bullpen backend would need.
