The price is short enough to ride the Indians, who are making a move winning nine of their last 11 games and are 30-12 in their last 42 games.

Adam Plutko is coming off a strong start for the Indians. Cleveland is 5-1 in Plutko's last six starts.

The Royals are in a rare flat spot having just swept a two-game road series against the Braves.

The Indians should encounter little difficulty facing Mike Montgomery. They just went against Montgomery six days ago and racked him for five runs and six hits in just two-plus innings.
