Stephen Nover's Tuesday Top Ticket
(MLB) Minnesota vs. Cleveland,
Money Line: -120.00 Cleveland (Home)
Result: Push
The Indians have won 15 of their last 21 home games, but find themselves in desperate straits needing a victory to realistically keep alive their slim playoff hopes.

Cleveland has the pitching matchup to win here. The Indians also shouldn't lack for effort after not showing much energy in a loss to Minnesota last night. Professional pride is at stake for the Indians.

Kyle Gibson is making his 32nd start of the year - and showing wear and tear. He has a 4.86 ERA during his last three starts and has been terrible against Cleveland with a 6.99 ERA versus the Indians in six starts.

Contrast this with Indians starter Cody Anderson, who is 4-0 in his last four starts with a 1.38 ERA during this span. Anderson has pitched great in his last six starts with a 1.98 ERA during this time frame.
