Hughes (priced at $7900) has only permitted 23 hits off of 105 at bats versus the current Cleveland roster.  He’ll be seeking redemption for a 0-2 start to the season and is in a perfect spot to do so.  He is 4-1 with a 2.80 ERA in seven starts against Cleveland.   The Twins are also 5-1 in Hughes' last 6 home starts.

Salazar is 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA in four career starts against Minnesota, striking out 22 but yielding the same amount of hits over 21 frames.

Cleveland is just 2-7 in their last 9 games as an underdog.
