This is an 8* PUNI$HER on the Guardians runline in Game 2.

Getting the extra 1.5 runs at this price at home for Cleveland in this spot is great value in my opinion.

These teams are only separated by three games for the division lead and they play each other seven times over the next ten days, including two today. This is the second game of the double-header and the bottom line here is that I believe the starters are a "wash."

Cleveland is going with Logan Allen (8-4, 5.56 ERA), who has been recalled from Triple-A to make his first big league start since the start of August, while the visitors counter with Alec Marsh (7-7, 4.71), who has also been called up from Triple-A.

I think KC is overpriced here on the road and in this important situation, but in a contest that I see being decided late, or even in extras, I'm going to lay the price for CLEVELAND on the RUNLINE option.

Good luck, NP
