The Indians will have issues in this game here as Salazar is projected to come back against one of the stronger teams in the league and that will make it very difficult for the Indians to win. Look for the Astros hitters to easily dominate this game and ruin the welcome back that Salazar was hoping to get in this game. Final Score, Houston Astros win 7-3.
